Nice find, thanks for sharing. I will be out in Frisco this summer and may have to stop by that one place.

Thanks for the link! Also, I hadn't read some of the articles that were linked in the pictures. The Dennis Orcollo one was a good read.

Good article but I wish it would have shed a little more positive light on pool instead of reinforcing the same old stigmas...JMO

This is a fantastic read, and sums up a lot of what I love about pool. Fantastic!

Thanks for sharing the find, Lenny!

Another article that relied on and reinforces every stereo type and cliche.

Great post. Thank you my friend.

Friendly advice: don't call it "Frisco" unless you want to annoy/amuse the locals. "SF" or "the Bay Area" are the conventions here.

I'd recommend Family Billiards in SF or Crown Billiards in San Ramon over Billiards Pallacade.

From the article:

---
"It's absolutely terrible," says Edward "Sandman" Liddawi, owner of Sandcastle Billiards in Edison, New Jersey. "I left good money and a good career in the IT field to save a sport that I see dying."

There's about as much money in Edu IT as there is in "Pro" pool tournaments. Both require a vow of poverty.
