Across the street from Pickle’s… I don’t even know if either are still open?

The Sport Palace holds a special place in my heart
It’s a long story how I found out about it
But I used to go and watch Earl Heisler and New York Blackie perform their magic as the road players would come through and match up

Unfortunately, the Sport Palace (not Sports Palace) is closed. Buffalo, who was one of the co-owners, runs Buffalos in NOLA.

Do the east coast have any famous pool hall left?

Steinway still exists right?

We still have Hard Times here.

Not the same of course but Bob Ogburn opened the Sports Palace in Columbia SC in the 90s and it was an incredible action spot for many years. Named after the OG of course. Where I grew up!

The Sports Palace was a legendary room from the 1960's on. It was right there with LeCue in Houston and Congress Bowl in Miami as the most famous poolrooms in the South. Loved that place, day and night action with all kinds of players and people. I liked to hang out and take it all in.

Last time I was there was 1985….Flyboy made a three banker at one hole to get one game up…small smile of satisfaction…loved the game.
Joey with a Tie was giving some advice to a guy he was in with at 9-ball. I felt like hanging around but I had to go.
