Hardtimes pool room

We don't have an alternate room in greater LA to stage large pool tournaments that is centrally located between the Inland Empire, Orange Co and LA Co.. So, Hard Times gets the love. All he needs to do is to put on the AC for a couple of months a year and charge for it. We need a 30 table room centrally located and the last one we had closed that was very good and it was called Hollywood Billiards. Come on Jeff re-open HLY BILLIARDS and we'll go there.

Jeff didn't like to run the heater or the air-conditioning either. When you have a bow truss type building the HVAC costs are high.

I was playing once in the middle of winter in a partners 9 ball game we played every Wednesday night. We were playing in ski parkas and we asked him if he would turn on the heat. He asked if we were going through menopause and did nothing. It was like 30 degrees outside and inside it had to be about 45 degrees.

The employees had standing orders to never touch the thermostat in summer or winter. It would take a lot of cash to open a big room. I don't see who will do it.
 
the problem is people still go in there. Until he starts loosing business he will never do a damn thing about the a/c.
 
This about sums it up.

I'm an AC repair man; give me the key to the thermostat and bam, it's fixed.

Truman:

How much would it cost to upgrade to commercial HVAC?

How much to run it during the summer?

How far would a $5/person surcharge go towards paying him to run what he has?

I'd prefer a new owner. As the captain of the ship he didn't give a shit about segregating enthusiasts from annoying people who have no concept of etiquette.

Even with the subsidies, he couldn't figure out how to make it profitable. Now that's business talent.

And while we're at it, CRAPPY FOOD. .


Danny K's has ****ing EXCELLENT food -- and runs the AC...and if you enter tournaments you play for the rest of the tournament's run time for free. It was a steal. I wish I lived near it...though I don't love the tables. GC are what pool tables should look like.

It'd be free to fix. Just give me the key to the thermostat. You think that turn that thing to maximum cool??

The second tournaments are over they IMMEDIATELY turn off the ac. And even when it's on it's set to like 78.

This is a matter of "unwilling" ... not "unable.".
