    Pool Halls, Reno, NV

    Yes, I think you are correct. It may have gone through several ownership changes since opening as the MGM in 1978. But it has been the Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) for some time now.

    Q's may still be viable, but I don't think it was ever large enough for a regional tournament. Is it open?

    Pool Halls, Reno, NV

    I expect a 'big tournament' still could be staged in the convention center or the exhibit halls of the large casinos. (the Grand Sierra Resort, locally know as the GSR, previously the MGM, could certainly qualify). But no, there aren't likely to be any dedicated pool halls suitable for a major...

    Pool Halls, Reno, NV

    It would have to be something newly built in one of the newer developed areas (south?). Downtown Reno is no longer a desirable place to be after dark, or even safe. Probably not feasible because the price of commercial real estate in all the newly developed areas is just too steep.

    Show us your HOME ROOMS !!

    I've previously shown my room in here. Room is done up in Hustler/60's pool hall theme. But it took me 4 years to find a bottle of JTS Brown bourbon. A friend gifted two bottles. Still not sure where he found them.

    I've noticed in the past 2 summers there seems to be road construction everywhere I travel. I have a theory that much of that was left undone during covid and now the hiway departments are playing catch up. Already started in Northern Nevada, and we're still getting snow showers!

    For me it was my 'Cheney'. Sweetest companion ever. Took me 4 years after she was gone before I could even talk about her. This photo is a dead ringer, right down to the collar.

    I'd enjoy having either of these to play with. I'll bet they're bringing quite a price on EBAY.

    Minimizing Cue Ball Movement Distance

    you should minimize cue ball movement distance to position on your next shot. I think this is good advice in general, but obviously has to be weighed against other considerations. For instance, I would not hesitate to use the rail to control motion just to 'reduce cue ball movement'. I think...

    Largest Pool Halls in the USA?

    Bull Shooters in Peoria, AZ has a mix of 7 and 9 footers, they claim a total of 44. From memory, that sounds about right.

    I once stayed on the 12th floor of a resort in PV, right on the ocean. From my balcony every day I could see huge manta rays moving about right at the shore line, not at all far from the swimmers. You'd never see them from water level unless you bumped into one.

    There should be some mention of your proficiency with firearms and willingness to use them, perhaps as a disclaimer at the end.

    Many years ago, I lived within a few blocks of Major Drive in Beaumont. The Coors bottle was probably left by a Cajun from Louisiana passing through Beaumont!
