Every Tuesday I go to Click's in Mesa to practice up before league. I pull into the place last night and CLOSED is all over the place. I ask one of the movers why they closed down and he stated "the smoking law got them, they were losing quite a bit of business." Not only was I pissed that they closed, but that is one of the reasons I went there, I don't like the smoke. Anyway, it sucks, it was a nice place so I guess I am off to Kolby's (even further out of my way).

Tank,

As a former regular at Kolby's, I think you'll like it just as much. I just hope the smoking ban doesn't get them too.

Tell Tracy (the Tournament Director) Ken said, "Hi."

Regards,

Ken (one of the first people to walk through the doors of Kolby's Corner Pocket many, many years ago.)
 
Yea, it sucks that clicks closed. I even tried to buy one of the gold crowns, but they wouldn't sell it. Kolby's wont close. It is the only descent hall left on this side of town.
 
Clicks has closed? I heard that Jimmy sold The Rack-n-Q, and headed back to Texas. Kolby's must be just about the only place left. It should survive thanks to the college crowd. Five or six years ago, the old Tommy's was always good for action, or at least you could head west to Casino Billiards. Will Kolby's capitalize on their new market dominance and cater to the players? Only time will tell.

Oh well, I never like Click's anyways...their Gold Crowns were too close together. If you're shooting off the rail, your backside would be hanging over the table next to you.
 
Is there anyplace else on the east side? I live at the 10 and queen creek area and would like to find a "home" pool room. Besides Skip and Jan's, which has league on Tue. and Thurs so I can't practice, where else is there?

Tank - Skip and Jans truely does suck, but it is the only thing close. I go there almost every day for lunch. I have a murrey 9 foot table for sale - which will end your problem once and for all! And since I just won an auction for a poly black gold crown, I need to get rid of it quick...
 
you guyz have a smoking law in arizona!!!??? is it all the cities or like,,,,,just certain cities? what about scottsdale and tempe?
 
That sort of thing is not a problem in the Philippines.

I went with my girlfriend to her hometown in one of the islands in the country - Ivisan, Capiz. 45 minutes by plane, and an hour by land through rice paddies and coconut plantations and coastal dirt road.

Just as I felt I was missing something (my cue case which she was too glad to leave behind) when we were unloading the bags from the vehicle, I heard this wonderful crackling sound of billiard balls off a break!!! I let out a loud "wow!" at the same time she went "oh no!!!"

I let a day pass, repeatedly sitting up with sparkling eyes and a wide grin every time we heard what was percussion to my ears. The next morning, while she was asleep, I sleepwalked to the source of the drum beat - a small hut with two pool tables resting on the rich agricultural soil of the province. When I went back, she was in the breakfast table. "Only when you're asleep", I promised!

I think the Philippines is leading in the ratio of population to pool halls/ rooms/ huts.

If I had a place to put it, I'd be all over. Building a new house first of next year, all I want is a three car garage and room big enough for a 9 footer. She can do the rest! :D

I work at Ray and 10, maybe we can get together for a long lunch and shoot for a few hours?

Every time I hear of a pool hall closing, it reminds me of an old joke:

Pool hall burns down, 1000 men left homeless...

not a happy time when an old friend leaves town or passes.
 
Tank, Where do you work at ray and 10? Thats where I work!

Hahah

Soon, Astrobowl and Coronado in Manila will be torn down. They will have to give way to high rise infrastructure. Astrobowl has been there since 1971, and it still is where top players play their money games.

It is not only the 1000 men who will be left homeless. Also the ghosts who watch the games from behind the walls will be displaced.
