Worst pool hall ever?

[pwd72s]

In the 60s at the Cotton Palace , in Dallas, we were sitting around talking about the worst equipment any of us had seen. The standard answers, torn cloth, broken pockets, bad rolling, etc. were there. Then one guy told us about playing in a pool room in a small town in New Mexico that had two tables without any cloth whatsoever. He said they covered them each day with newspapers. He went on to say the town didn't have any good players but had an inordinate amount of pool bums who were educated on current events.
True story...I think.

Just started your book, Alf...so no review yet. But, I'm giving you a plug here. Hey, shouldn't the cotton palace be on the list? Seems some pretty nasty people hung out there. You excepted, of course...

I didn't mind Biker Bars back in the day either--but this place reminded me of where Edgar Allen Poe got some of his ideas from--LOL--Spent over a month with my freind Tim Daniels (danny Simala)in New Orleans on our way to Los Angeles on one of the little get aways--lots of rough joints we found over in Gretna--what spots those were back in the day--up all night and feeling like vampires when the sun started coming up,the biz was tough during the Carter years

Would no pool room qualify?

The women's restroom was single use and had a big sign inside, next to the mirror: No drugs or sex acts in this bathroom. No exceptions.
