Our world is going down the tubes
I went by Stix yesterday to talk to Alex about buying one of his Gold Crowns.
Nobody was there but there was no indication that he was permanently closing.
Only signs on door were about being closed for COV-19.
It would be a major blow to pool in SoCal if he would close.

Alex= the Lion yes?
He is closing for sure. Selling everything from the pool tables to the ice maker.

Saw his tables listed on Facebook :-(
No. Another Alex. Alex Lao for short .
Alex is also Efren's former road manager.
Alex also managed Shooters in Riverside for years before going on his own.
Alex was also responsible for introducing me and Efren to the late cue maker Judd Fuller.
The name of the room uses only one X. Here is their website in case anyone is interested:

Nope. Usually if I'm in LA I only have a little spare time and in the past I've just dropped by Hardtimes. I guess that's not going to work any more either.:frown:Ever been there bob? ...
Well I just found out two days ago that my local pool hall is closing it’s doors and selling all assets. This is a moral blow to me. When I decided to start playing pool again after being away from the game for 20 years, Stixx was chosen room. I have since been playing the weekly tournaments and playing recreational along with money matches there. I can’t believe it’s closing. I was actually in talks to purchase the room as a business however the reason it is closing is due to COVID. The owner is roughly 7 months behind in rent leaving him in debt almost 6 figures and rising. Therefore the landlord has decided to file a lawsuit against the owner trying to collect.
This is a very, very sad time. This is the second room that has closed in the past 2 months. Stixx was a place where I saw and socialized with my fellow players. Only a few months ago Efren was there playing exhibition matches. Weekdays were packed with APA and ball bangers along with serious players (not saying APA is not serious). Weekends there was a line out the door waiting for a table.
This is a travesty!
And you can count Diamonds Billiards Club in Brea as another casualty .
It was one of the nicest pool places here.
Many other countries handled COVID (and the economic issues) much better.Yea but they need to take their losses just like everyone else. They are not thinking straight. This is where the city should step in and intervene for the better of everyone.

Maybe earlier but not so much now. A lot of Euro countries are getting hammered lately. As weather cools off its gonna spike again.Many other countries handled COVID (and the economic issues) much better.

Just FYI garczar, New Zealand has zero problems with Covid-19 right now. No hospital cases, no deaths, no masks. They must be doing something right.
