Good shot :-D

A good shot of a good shot. It's a shame when old institutions like this shut their doors taking memories with them. The only thing permanent is God's love. Wishing you a beautiful weekend friend with Aloha

That´s pity. I love 8-ball but haven´t done it in years.

Je ne le savais pas. J'y suis passé quelquefois à la fin des années 80 quand je travaillais beaucoup dans la région lyonnaise... La photo est formidable.

We call it a pool hall here and I'm hopeless at playing it.

That's sort of sad....but use it or lose it, as I always say.
