Chandleys Chalk and Cue

This is going to be long winded but if you enjoy pool you may want to read what is about to change the way we think of pool rooms.

First I want to give people a little insight of my love for the game of pool.
My first fond memories of playing pool started at a pizza house in a small town in Oberlin Ohio. At the age of 13 my parents would allow me to go there and shoot pool with my friends most Friday nights.
Two years later I was introduced to my future brother in law Dave Burgette. Dave was a avid pool player. I bought a 7 foot bar table at the age of 15 and was allowed to put it in my grandmas garage. I practiced for many hours on that table with my new friend and mentor Dave.

At the age of 18 I moved to Dallas Texas with my now brother in law and sister Cathy.
Dallas was a pool players dream in 1980.
I would spend every night of the week playing pool and hustling the locals in Garland Texas. I earned the nick name "Ace" in that small suburban town.
One day I ventured to Dallas to a real pool hall called Rustys Billiards.
All I had ever played on was 7 foot tables and at Rustys all the action was on 9 footers.
Needless to say I was the donkey at the real pool room where I was hustled by the real pool players like "little Al" lol.

In 1988 I moved back to Ohio to find a town with no pool rooms within 30 miles of Oberlin.

I got wind of a pool room in Akron Ohio called Starchers billiards.
