Poolroom Closed after 52 years

Sad to hear...

Florence was one of the early supporters of the WPBA & a WPBA player herself. I remember going to The Pocket Billiard Lounge a couple times a year in the mid to late '70s for WPBA events. Some names from those days were Jean Balukas, Loree Jon (Ogonowski, Jones) Hasson , Gloria Walker, Vicki (Frechen) Paski, Fran Crimi, Astrid Coil, Debbie Smith, Nancy Warren, Cheryl Cohen, Mary Orlandi & many more.

I remember your first trip there, Mary! If I remember right, you had just come off a road trip with Buddy Hall.
 
Here are some pictures of how the room was in the fall of '97 or spring of '98. Hope this comes out ok, first time scanning with this printer.

Nice. Most parlors as I like to call em are basically same except for cosmetics and of course the change of characters from the Era's gone by.

Loree Jon Jones, Dawn Hopkins and Joanne Mason were three I remember well. Joanne would gamble with the guys and she won as often as she lost.
Billie Billing too, would come to play. My favorite to chat with will always be Julie Kelly.
