I am going to be in Richmond IN for a few days in August for work. I am looking for some pool room recommendations preferably in Richmond IN, but I believe it is pretty close to Dayton OH so that works too.

I wonder if the Leland Hotel is still there. I worked there when I was 19 as a desk clerk. I would get off at 2AM Saturday morning, hop in my car and zip over to Dayton, and go straight to Winks Pool Room which was open all night. I would stay there until late Sunday night or early Monday morning and drive the 35 miles back to Richmond for work on Monday.

In Richmond back then there was a little poolroom downtown with a card game in front and four tables in back. They would play a Ring Game, quarter on the five and fifty cents on the nine, almost every day. I robbed that game one day for maybe $25. The next time I went in there someone stole my cue when I went to the restroom. I left it on the table since it was my break. Ten to fifteen people there and no one saw a thing! ;)

Pappy Winkler had made that cue for me out of a house cue I liked. He put a brass joint on it, so I could take it apart. Charged me all of $5!
