    Here's one I didn't mention. It's next to Hope's Fish & Chips on Joy Rd. betwn. Middlebelt and Inkster. Some of the tables are a little threadbare but still a good old time pool hall.

    In the 60's and on either Larned or Congress, and just east of Woodward, there was a hall, where on the 2nd floor.

    Seem to recall at one time there was also a hall in the old Greyhound Bus Depot.

    Harry's in Dearborn Heights [[long gone), VanBorn and Telegraph was good-sized hall.

    Thunderbowl in Allen Park, may still have a hall upstairs and on the south-end of the building. The place was quite busy even into the late-70's.

    Not many speak of "snooker" any more.

    I revisited this place last week. The sign "The Rack" is still on the pole and the building on Joy Rd between Middlebelt & Inkster. But it's changed hands and is now called - get ready - "The Velvet Rail". The place is still the same as far as I could tell in the 30 mins I was there. The better news is that all the tables have been resurfaced and new lighting installed. Before 5pm the rates are $5 hour for 2 players. Will get more info on this when I go on Wed.
    The web site is terrible http://thevelvetrail.com/ Tries to appeal to "family fun" but I saw the same old - timers shootin' snooker and playing cards.
