My grandparents bought a house at the edge of town in the very early 60s. Town quickly moved that way and suddenly it was a busy area. A bank went in next door, and strip shopping center went in across the street. One of the business was a pool hall. Of course my brother and I wanted to go play pool. Granddad went ballistic, and it was clear we would each get a pet dragon before he allowed us to play pool. My grandad was born in 1902 and had lived through the tough times, and been in some pool halls that were a bit unsavory. I learned later in life that he was in a lot of fights from playing pool. He did not want us to have any part of that life. In his mind, pool halls were at the same level as whore houses and seedy bars.
