Bighorn and The Ball Room (that's the pool hall you are thinking of) were also in Shepherd Square when it was THE place to be in H-Tine. Like all good things, once it gets a little too popular, certain elements ruined it.
Do you remember that night when Lizzard was partially burned when a news helicopter crashed nearby? I was leaving Taco Milagro / Downing and almost got t-boned by the a cop responding at 100 down Kirby, who was followed by about 50 more converging on the scene. I lived off of Alabama and the smoke was so thick going home you couldn't see 10 feet in front of you.
