If that is the one, I've been there when I was getting some State Farm Insurance flood adjusting training just after the storm. One fellow I forget his name must have been about 28 or so played me a little one pocket for $20 a game I think. Not a whole lot of players when I was there. They tell me that Joey Barnes hangs out there quite a bit....
Did you say OLD DAYS? That made me smile. How long have you been around? ;-)

each other ... lol small sets, or challenge table.
All you have to do is stop in Shooters in Wichita, and ask for
Jr., Mark, Jeremy, Gumby, Scott (me), Jamie, Scott, Marshall, George, Terry, Paul, Lil Steve, or half dozen more players that gamble about anytime they pick up a cue. We all are not Walden's speed, but we can play a little.
Wichita has always been like a 'AAA' city for Pool, and last half of the 70's and 80's, there was action every night, good action, with lots of road players coming through, but like all cities, the national economy has taken
a toll on the Pool world some, but you can still find a game here. Or up
in Topeka or Olathe.
Bob (Cane) ... Last I knew, Shane McMinn was working at the Palace?
(That's what Brenda, his mom, said) What has happened to action at Magoos? And last I knew, Dave Hendricks and Walter Glass were still
in OKC, they gamble, or just go to Mikies, 24/7 place, there's action
there.

Samiel said:Yes! You were at my hangout and I missed you!!!
Joey Barnes has been known to play there... but not as much lately... he was also at the DCC and I saw him briefly... I believe Timberly knows him as well...
The OLD DAYS was before the new management and new owner kicked in... it's been VERY dead as of late... unfortunately.
Do you perhaps remember who you played with (what they looked like)? How did that match come out?...and when are you coming back?

That could've been Rusty's Billiards in Arlington.... same set up. Joey was it a stand alone bldg or in a shopping center? Joey Barnes used to play at Rusty's and that's where I got to know him at. I used to run a Midnight madness tourney there every Sat night and eventually ended up bartending there for awhile before I moved to PA.JoeyA said:Samiel does this Clicks have a service counter slightly straight ahead and slightly to the right as soon as you come in the front door with most of the pool tables to the left as you walk in the door.
I agree.pooltchr said:Really too many to count in the Carolinas.
boradriver said:JoeyA if your ever in CT let me know I would love some 1 pocket lessons. The few I got from you at DCC really sparked my interest. I also can help you find other action for higher stakes if you want.

Samiel, which Clicks? When I first moved there I waited tables at a Clicks...it was the one right next to Lace & Fantasy Ranch.No gambling went on there back then. It was all at Rusty's... man, that was a long time ago.....
I agree.
LOL, it wasn't because you weren't familiar with the roads. That whole area around hwys 360, 30, & six Flags can get a little whacky. You were definitely at Clicks... Should've gone to Rusty's... much easier in & out.JoeyA said:As I recall, it was a stand alone building and it was kind of difficult to get to it off of the Interstate having to shake around the block. It could have been because I wasn't familiar with the roads...
