The Bridge: Scenes from Kensington's Diehard, Underground Pool League

I just came across this article on a pool league in Philadelphia. It has the typical emphasis on seediness (not to imply that it's never deserved), but there's also a bit about Philly back in its pool day.

Somebody else posted this about two weeks ago...awesome photography. This guy should go on the road with a real player and do something like this nation-wide and publish a coffee-table book. It would sell much better than "Playing Off the Rail".
