The Green Room: Durham's finest poolroom

"Just got home from Durham, North Carolina and want to give a shout out to the gang at "The Green Room," which is Durham's finest poolroom. Thanks to the staff for showing me so much hospitality and to the players for welcoming me with open arms and treating me with friendship and respect... At "The Green Room,", when you offer a gratuity for good service, the staff are so grateful that they ring a bell situated above their cash register. They do appreciate their customers."
