This seems to be a quaint blast from the past, at least locally. Billiards, whether it be a game of snooker or pool, was a popular past time since the late 1800s. Its popularity grew by leaps and bounds in the 1920s from the population explosion created by the lumber mills. By the mid-1980s, locally, it began a slow decline. Today, only a handful of establishments throughout the county even have a pool table. The mighty snooker table a relic of the past.
