This means the Pool League will need a new place to play.<br>Nowhere official has been selected yet, but the most likely place<br>would be Q's location in Downers Grove on 63rd St (in the mall between<br>Woodward and Belmont, just east of I-355),<br>http://qsportsbarandgrill.com/downersgrove/ . That location was<br>renovated a couple of years ago so that they can serve food and booze<br>and apparently will be the new home of the 9' tables being removed<br>from Q Darien (where it will join all the other 9' tables they already<br>have).<br><br>So the question to you is, if the Argonne League were to move to Q on<br>63rd, would you NOT be able/want to play there?<br><br>Relatedly, what is everyone's availability this fall? I should be<br>around for the whole season, as far as I know.<br><br>John<br></div></body></html>
