Hi all, just wanted to say that the pool room right next to my apartment, which previously had poorly maintained equipment and never seemed to have any players in it has just been extensively remodelled. It's Sharpshooter's Billiards on Sudley Rd. next to the Best Buy in Manassas (less than a mile from I-66 exit 47A).
It's now a pretty nice place with freshly recovered 9' GC's, including one with 4 3/8" pockets which should be good as a practice table. Since it's so close to where I live, I'll be going there a lot more often now that it's not so sketchy and they have what seems to be decent equipment, and I suggest anyone in the area who's been there and didn't like it give it another shot now that they've fixed it up. Spread the word. My motive in posting this is it would be nice to have a spot where some serious players play so close to home, so let your friends know that it's now worth a second look.
