I am wondering about the pool hall. Why was it such a forbidden place for the kids, especially the young girls of CV.?? There is nothing inherently wrong with playing pool (I do it every day now) and bowling is certainly nothing sinful. It must be the dirty old men that inhabited the place that frightened all the mothers in town. But it obviously was an important place in our history because many of the posts mention "the pool hall" in one context or another.

I'm glad you signed in Pat. You can expand our horizons a bit with memories that predate some of ours.

Wayne, With a younger sister I'm surprised you didn't know the evils of the pool hall, it was always very dark and smelled of beer. It was not a place that girls went into but if we had to walk by the door we would go very slowly and look out of the corner of our eye trying to see what was going on in there!!! For some reason this makes me think of Professor Harold Hill in the "Music Man" singing "Ya got troubles".

Well, Nancy, back in those days my sister didn't talk to me much. She was always too busy hob-nobbing with the likes of Diane Archer, Billie Goode and Susan Alexander. Didn't have time for her brother.
