Tallahassee Pool Scene
Last I knew Joe Steymeyer went to Mississippi. He got into poker big time and ditched pool was what I heard. He used to hang out with a guy named Tommy Avant in Tallahassee who did commit suicide many years ago. There was a fellow by the name of John Sangster who may have worn glasses for a while back then who played with both of the above players. He lives over in the Mobile area and comes to the spring and fall tournaments at Starcade Billiards in Fort Walton. He did carpentry for work if I remember correctly. A.D. Tate died several years ago. I believe a heart attack at home. He was a great backer and good judge of players ability. His traveling buddy Don is still playing poker regularly, backgammon and one pocket occassionally. Anybody remember Smiley? Yes he's still sellin' cues and talkin' pool stuff. He's got more pool wanna-be in him than any ten people. FYI.

head over to Pockets. There is lots of fun to be had there and they have I think eight 9 footers and like twelve 8 footers. There is also Halligan's and Bannerman's, but I haven't had a reason to go to either for years.
