Played at Winks many times, I was one of the weak players. Loved playing 'Tonk' there also. Who could forget Joe Burns/owner?

bigbob..
I played pool at both places. I played at Wink's when the Winkler family owned it and when Joe Burns owned it also. Joe also at one time owned Hollywood Pool Hall on Salem Ave. I hung out at Trotwood Billiards a bit also. I do remember old "clutcher" (Mr. Hurley) and Mrs. Hurley also. I graduated from Trotwood in 67. Did you go to THS?

carlatm75, I knew Sue in high school. Can't say that I recall ever talking to her but I knew who she was. I see her on F.B. from time to time. I use to go by the nickname of Humpty.

I played pool and snooker at Red White and Blue pool hall on east fifth just past the burlesque. It was on the second floor. I learned to play pool in Juvenile Detention Home which was located on Ferguson Avenue just west of Salem and south of Superior. I learned how to jump balls, played a lot of 8 ball, at night we covered the table with a sheet of plywood which I hid behind once for several hours trying to avoid my every 3 weeks haircut, I didn't. Some of the best food I have ever eaten was from there, a lady that we called Cookie really knew how to feed the kids. The best city for food I ever lived in was New Orleans Louisiana, summer of 62 to winter of 68. I would die for a trout poor boy sandwich, or the roast beef poorboy. Better than good. I lived in Dayton from when I was born in 1942 to 1959 when I moved.
P.S. I was in detention home because on New Years eve, 1957 or 58, 2 friends and I decided to celebrate. I ended up in in the library as they did not want me to disturb the sleeping kids and I made the place smell like a brewery. Dry heaves are not a lot of fun. I quit drinking alcohol in the Seventies as being harmful to whatever it touches.

summitcourt-- I had friends and family at the court. I was raised on Negley Place and went to school at Edison until I was in 7th grade. in 1960 we moved to the Eastside, but most of my childhood memories came from my time on the Westside. I moved to the Houston area in 1977. good to see you here.

...our house was up in the alley off Negley but the street address was Negley. the house set kinda next door to Dayton Christian Center. went home this past October my Sister and I drove around Broadway, Ferguson,etc the streets looked so small. Our house was long gone--couldnt even see up in the alley where it used to stand it was all grown over. I could not take Ohio winters again, but Dayton will always be home.

I lived at 1829 Grand in 1957/58 and moved to 327 Lexington Ave just west of Broadway. My mother used to have her hair done on Salem, a few doors from Gallaghers, it was called Callie's Salon of Beauty. My best friend was Bill Stackhouse whose mom was Callie. Bill's father was killed in a speed boat race in the Detroit area and they moved to Dayton.
After I left home I went to Dallas and lived for about 6 months then headed for LA.
