    Hard Times Bellflower

    The building is currently being renovated as is most of Bellflower Blvd. If you went inside you wouldn't recognize the place. A lot of people broke in and stole various things. Copper thieves busted walls and ceilings. The stands were torn out. Majority of the tables gone...

    Which are your favourite quotes from players?

    Back in the 90's, Hard Times Bellflower, Ca. Keith McCready is playing a strong player some 9 ball, race to 9. Lot's of people watching. Keith starts out hot, not missing nothing, within minutes he's up 6-0. He gets ready to break, looks over at his opponent and says, "Hey so and so, looks...

    Huge APA Tournament coming to Vegas next month ( at Westgate Casino). Plenty of cue repairmen there who could install your wrap. Head over to the Castillo Leather booth, he's probably the best at it, there anyway.

    RIP Fujiwhopper

    I was there when Neil played Keith at Rack n Cue billiards in Stanton,Ca. , around 1997 or 1998. Small stakes. I asked Neil his thoughts after the 1st set. He said, "I can hold him off for awhile but Keith just has too much firepower". Neil lost that night but it was a great experience...

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Keep in mind, 40% less people was last year, when Vegas required masks for everyone. Attendance should improve, this event, with no masks required.

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    Masks are not required in Las Vegas. Parking is free outside the CSI event at the Rio. I went in 2015-2016, and again last year. 2021 seemed like 40% less people compared to 2016. I liked it better, easier to get around with less people.

    Hard Times Bellflower On the Scene

    Your absolutely right. Eddie is out of the picture. The building owner showed up one day with lawyers, the police and locksmiths and proceeded to change the locks on him. A few days prior Eddie left with the 3 cushion tables and some misc. stuff. He owed over a years worth of rent which is...

    Hard Times Bellflower On the Scene

    HT was on a long term lease for .45 cents a sguare foot. That came to an end last year. Now, the going rate in that area is $1.75 a square foot or higher. It would be very difficult to find a new pool room owner willing to pay that rate for a 25,000 sq. ft. building, with no kitchen or alcohol.
