Nice, wide-open spaces where the little ones can run to their heart's content. Quinn's The billiards connoisseur carefully considers a few characteristics essential to a superlative hall. Probably things like smooth tables, straight sticks and a good beer selection. We couldn't find an actual connoisseur, so we asked somebody who likes to play pool in bars, who assured us that those qualities, plus Johnny Cash on the jukebox, are indeed key to a top-quality hall. The Foundry, last year's second-place pool hall champs, ran the table in the new millennium, while CU favorite Quinn's, in a basement deep within the Hill, is relegated to second place.
Quarters are on the table.
Well, you can still experience those days gone by in Boulder. In a glowing example of quality over quantity, our readers clearly prefer going to a theater where you can't hear the noise of the chase scene in the theater next door over the quiet, tender love scene you are trying to watch. We at the Weekly are especially gratified to see the Boulder Theater place in this category as the sponsor of their film series. The Ramseys won this one hands down. This has been a banner year, even for this high-profile family.
