A snippet of yesteryear in the 1900s of boys watching a game of billiards at Banacroft Boys Club in Connecticut.
Do you think they're sharking the shooter standing there like crows on a telephone wire? Hey, maybe that's where the term "railbird" came from! :thumbup:

Mark Twain did much of his writing in the billiard room of his Harford House in a third-floor retreat that opens onto balconies. This space offered isolation from the daily activities of the Twain family, which included three lively daughters!

I might make a trip to KY just to see Bank Shot Billiards. Looks like a cool place.
It's pretty nice. They have 10 diamonds on the first floor, two shimmed pretty tight. In the basement they have a snooker table, 2 gold crowns, another 9' diamond, and some other brand of 9' table. They also have a "private" room you can rent out that has a 9' Diamond that is in very good condition.
I go there almost everyday for lunch. $6 gets you an hour of pool, a sandwich, chips, and drink.
Nice pic of Truman and Landon!
I can't take credit for it, I found it online
This thread continues to be fantastic. I smell a coffee table book coming out of this

Not a Pool Room but rather my Buddy's garage !! Its in Havasu and he has
many parties. About 120-150 of us will be there the weekend of June 6th.
Nice setup with a the stage. Our buddies blues band will be playing and two bartenders dressed like Playboy Bunnies will be serving. Should be fun
Theres a nice ouside area as well and we have shuttle service from a hotel so no one drinks and drives.

Great thread, Great pic's. Thanks to all. Thought I even shed a tear, but I just splashed some of my Jack and coke in my eye.
Would like to wrangle an invite to the Havasu weekend June 6th. I will be up there that week-end.
