First states to reopen Pool Halls?

#Cruncher said:

I’m temporarily out of work and my buddy will be furloughed the first week of June. God willing, the virus will be on the run by then. We’ll be hoping to make a road trip to see a few pool halls (or any that will be open).

Any states in the Midwest that are opening up billiard establishments by the end of May. If not, we might entertain the Southern states as well. Thanks.

In Florida, during the Phase 1 re-opening which started May 4th, bars must remain closed. So, I think any pool room that serves alcoholic drinks is considered in part a "bar".However, I did notice that one pool room in Ocala, FL re-opened May 4th at the 25% capacity rule, I'm guessing that they don't serve alcohol or maybe suspended serving alcohol.

Not quite. My room has a full kitchen and as such is licensed as a restaurant. Like any other restaurant, serving alcohol is perfectly acceptable.

They opened at 25% capacity yesterday.

Hopefully Louisiana opens up on May 16. Unfortunately we have a coward for governor.

Calling your fellow AZB'ers idiots just because they disagree with your opinion. Really? If you are living in fear, stay home. There are many of us - most probably the majority of Americans - who take risks every day to enjoy their freedoms. And, many of us are not accepting the facts that you evidently are choosing to believe.

SMH.

Nobody is living in fear. I'm not afraid to catch it.

I don't know how I can live with myself if I infected hundreds of people and the cause of someone dying.

No fear here. I want to protect.

Don't be COVIDIOT. Don't infect. Stay home.

Thanks to those responding regarding their states status. I figured this post would get the responses of staying home or don't be afraid banter.

Notice, I did say this would be the first week of June. We will monitor the condition of virus in the states before charting a road trip plan, if we go at all.
I'm sure we will bring masks, and wear them while playing, if there are other people in the vicinity. We would wipe down the balls with a rag and bring our own magic rack and cues. Seems that would keep the health risk about as low as possible.

Stay tuned if the adventure unfolds!
