The Power of Q Closing Down


The Power of Q, the pool hall that myself and the staff have been going to since Christmas '02, is finally shutting down. It's been around for 10 years out in suburban Pickering, and the strip mall it's in is being torn down to be replaced by homes of some sort. Instead of relocating, the management of the Q just decided to wrap things up.

While the Q is open until June 30th, they had their closing party this past Friday night and last night as well. The staff and I met some friends up there on Friday, and it was a great time with free pool all night long! They were also giving out a deck of cards and a keychain.

Some of the drinks were limited since they weren't restocking, however they had kareoke going on, and I must say, some people shouldn't be allowed to sing. No, really, make them stop.

I had a lot of fun times at the Q over the years, playing with different groups of friends, going brain-dead while watching back-to-back Rocky films, and laughing at the mullet guy playing Big Buck Hunter.

However, all good things must come to an end, and now we're left having to find another pool hall. Thanks for all the good memories, Q. You'll be missed.
