A Blast from the Past!



A billiard/billiards, pool or snooker hall (or parlour/parlor, room or club; sometimes compounded as poolhall, poolroom, etc.) is a place where people get together for playing cue sports such as pool, snooker or carom billiards. Such establishments often serve alcohol and may have gaming machines, darts, foosball and other games on the side.

Cool! Huh! Hurry before they are all gone.

Update 8-4-13 - Might be too late. :( Drove by today and the windows were papered over and the phone is disconnected.

Oak Park Billiards, started in 1936 by John Lorimer, is one of the few old-line pool rooms to survive. It did so by becoming a local youth center, of sorts. Gambling, swearing and booze are banned, said current owner Zena Gelisan.

"We don't get many serious players anymore," said Bob Sprouse, the daytime desk man.
