Here is an interesting article about the last pool hall in Detroit. It is kind of said but just the way it is. I don't know if it really is the last one. I know that there are a few places where you can play pool such as the Blue Diamond but it is more of a bar with a lot of tables. The place is in the downtown area and not to far from the new hockey arena, football, baseball fields and casinos.

Don't know if it was ever considered a hot spot for big games or a destination for hustlers. I was born and lived in Detroit until 1969 and then move to the suburbs. That place was about 4 miles from where I lived and at that time it was in a area that most avoided or just pasted thru to get to the downtown area. Plus there were many other pool halls to go to.

nice read.saddens me greatly hear about these closing up across USA. I hope Mr. bean can get it up and going again. small business so tough in this country to make a profit keep a hall going even with food & beverages. need get big govt,taxes all under control quick we will see a horrible time here to come far worse than it is now!:eek:
 
Thanks so much for the link. There is a great sadness to the story but I hope some young guy will show up and have an interest in continuing the pool room story.
