Jointed Cue in Sacramento Open Again

The Jointed Cue reopened last week after being shut down for 3 1/2 years. For those that don’t know the story, the guy who had filed thousands of complaints about buildings that were not up to code for the disabled, filed against the pool room without ever stepping foot in it. Jointed Cue was one of many businesses who had to shut down because of this guy who finally got busted himself.

This iconic old pool room, designed and built by Terry Stonier, hosted tournaments that attracted the best pool players in the world. The tournament records still hang on the walls with pictures of the many who have played there. They kept the room the same, but upgraded everything and added two Diamonds to the tournament room. Do not miss a chance to visit and check it out if you are in Sacramento.

The new owners are pool players, and there are plans for more tournaments and streaming once they get rolling. I have included a pic of yours truly and Bart Mahoney, an old friend, one pocket player and contractor who helped them rebuild and remodel this great old pool room.

Well the place was shut down by or because of litigation litigation. Did not comply with ADA Requirements.

But as a result of predatory litigation. The attorney who did it was running a shakedown operation whereby he was extorting businesses whom he claimed were in non-compliance. It wasn't about getting businesses to be in compliance with the ADA but instead in getting them to pay a "settlement" amount to have the suit withdrawn.

There are millions of businesses that are not in strict compliance with the ADA regulations and while it can be argued about whether they should be or not the fact is that using the law as a cover to blackmail those businesses should be an illegal practice.

Fantastic news!!!!
 
Due to injury from a bad wreck i've had a hdcp parking permit for 35yrs. In those 35yrs i think i've had MAYBE two issues with businesses. I was cool about it and they fixed the problem. I would never do what this lawsuit-happy douchebag has made a career of.

110% Correct?

We in the Valley Sun had interesting litigation going on over handicapped parking spots.
