A rainy day project of mine for a while has been a pool halls map showing locations of good billiards halls nationwide and overseas. Why? Because most halls' prices are going up and up, even as the rate of play is coming down.

Bar traffic is fast overtaking the actual pool in most halls. And that atmosphere will keep out the teens and young people who need to play now to build the next generations of our sport.

If you have a hot local hall you love, a good place to play pool and billiards, please write and let me know--we'll cover your hotspot in a future article or review.
