A Waste of a Pool Table

I have been playing like total crap lately, haven't won a match in ages. But I don't want to dwell on the negative (or bore you to death), so I've got lots of loose ends and random pictures that I will publish instead. I'll start off with a slightly blurry cell phone camera shot taken a few weeks ago inside the John Varvatos store on Bowery, site of the former CBGB's. I'm not going to get into a rant about Bowery's ongoing facelift, but I thought this unused pool table was a bit sad. Granted, they probably don't want just anybody coming in off the street and playing free pool. But it makes me wonder if they even have the rest of the equipment–balls, cue sticks, etc.–like in some storage room in the back. Surely they must. It's not hard to imagine them playing a little pool after hours. Because Mr. Varvatos has been known to feature pool in at least one of his ads, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
