I live in Southern Indiana(30 min from Louisville, KY), several places around here to play.

If you want to stop in and say hello or meet up and play for a few to take the burden off the long drive let me know and I'll PM you my information.
 
If you're looking for some action, JOB's just north of Nashville is pretty sporty. After that, several places in the Atlanta area.
 
Cleary, soon my friend, real soon;)
Everyone else who responded, thank you, but are these places on my way down, I don't want to have to venture to far off the beaten path. I think classic billiards in conyers is kinda close, ill have to double check.
 
The most direct route from Chicago to Tampa (which I drive a few times a year) takes you through Indy, Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and then 500 miles down I-75 to Tampa. Good pool in all of those places.

If you stop in the Atlanta area drop me a PM and let me know. It's always nice to meet another AZ'er. I usually shoot out of Johny Archer and Kim Davenports room, "Marietta Billiard Club" 1355 Roswell Road Marietta, Georgia 30062
(678) 324-6693

Shawn Putnam shoots there regularly.

Have a safe Trip.
 
Bank Shot Billiards in Louisville is right off the highway and an interesting stop. Not sure what the regular scene is there, but the place is located in a very old, some may say dumpy, bank building complete with the original vault door in the middle of the room. Definitely original. Pretty decent gc's when I saw it last year.
 
in atlanta mr. cues 2 on chamblee tucker, especially if you are looking for action. marietta billiard club, as has been mentioned is a nice room. cues billiards and classic billiards are also not bad places to go. all mentioned rooms have a mix of 7,8, and 9 ft tables. mostly 9's. mbc has mostly gold crowns and olhausen i believe, cues 2 has all gold crowns (8, 9 and a tour edition 9), classic has all diamonds (bar box and 9's), cues has all kim steel and 1 diamond.

Aren't the upstairs tables Diamonds?
 
You could make your first "stop" @ Red Shoes Billiards in Alsip, Illinois (as long as you are heading south...it is in the southern suburbs of Chicago). Well maybe that is a bad idea, you might not have enough cash for the rest of your trip (only kidding!).
