Do you remember your first pool hall?

My first exposure to a pool room would be the tables at arcades. But, once I hit 16 and could drive, I went to Raytown Rec in the KC area and that was my first real "poolroom". It's still there and pretty much the same as the first time I went in some 34 years earlier.

YMCA in Royal Oak, Mi. 65/66/67'
AMF's as I recall. 2 tables, one for the Big boy's , and one POS for the beginners.

Man, what I wouldn't give to go back there for minute.

Buffalo Billiards in Cotati. I was 14, my stepdad and I needed to bond so he taught me how to shoot pool.

My first pool hall was Monoski billiards in Montoursville, PA. I started going there right before college and continued throughout college. My first date with my Wife was at this pool hall.

The owner (Tom) was very nice and always willing to give a tip or suggestion. He was a very good player as well.

Sadly place closed a couple years ago.
