Huntington west viriginia pool hall

What happened to the pool halls in huntington wv?
T's closed and Classic billiards out of business

Unbelievable. That town used to be great for pool. House of Billiards and Shooters on 4th right by Marshall, then Classics right up the road a piece. Hell, there was even another House of Billiards in Barboursville.
Ive heard economy issues, but I would have to think poor money management. They were always packed, especially on the weekends with the college crowd. Shooters had a full bar and stage up front, they should have survived on liquor sales alone. I used to do pretty well there on the weekends. Nice Diamond Pro tables, and drunk college kids. They used to charge 7 bucks an hour on the weekends when everybody else in the area was at 2.50-3 bucks. Booze and money flowed.
