Galaxy Billiards behind the old Galaxy theatre

Cool Million on Fair Ave. More of a bar I guess, but it had maybe four or six pool tables?

The nephew that took over his trade and does all the stuff around town....his workshop/yard are located about a block down from Rosarios.
The entrance I am talking about was the one next to the ground floor cafe. The tree was inside the store, not on the outside. It was a very large floor to ceiling sculpture and at covered at least 15 feet of wall along the steps down to the sales floor.

I worked there until a couple months before the takeover and am pretty sure it was open when I left. I tended to hit the basement or groundfloor cafes more often, but was invited upstairs once within a year of leaving. I don't remember hearing any rumors of it's demise while I was there.

Thanks! I'm sure Galaxy was it. Went there a couple times many years ago. I just remembered went to Tiffany's a couple times with friends from work.
