Players from Toronto

[srs314]

I was born in Canada and grew up in Scarborough. Left Canada in 1977 for Miami and have only been back one time in 85 for a funeral. Is Scarborough a real dump now? Has my old town become the main Hood in Toronto or something?

Btw when I came back to Toronto in 1985, I went downtown to shop and was looking to play some nineball. Snooker was the only game in town still and one snooker room downtown had a single REALLY crooked bar table. The regulars all sneered at me when I asked who wanted to play some $10 or 20 nineball. They referred to the bar table as "The kiddie table". I shot two racks on the table and gave up. It was really terrible, like playing on a ship in 10 ft seas.

Sounds like you went to the wrong pool room. LOL, lots of great action in your old neighborhood just have to know the spots.

Scarborough is a cespool and Shooter's ain't what it used to be

Toronto real estate rates prevent the development of any new and proper player's rooms

Downtown would be the very best place for a proper room, but you're talking investing millions and waiting some years before ever seeing a return on that, if ever
