We had to walk by it to get over to the retail store, which is in a huge yard behind it. Yard itself has all kinds of concessions in it, all of which were shut. Only exception, you ask? Why it's the IHS retail outlet, of course! Walk into the joint and its wall to wall T-shirts, jackets, hoodies and other apparel. Beyond that, there are branded accessories and souvenirs in all kinds of categories. One side note: the store is also an impromptu shrine to our newly elected POTUS. The lady at the register, who seemed to be alone in the store, was busy folding shirts but still friendly and helpful at the same time. She was able to answer the Queen Bee's queries and helped her find the way around. One small note is they even have commemorative IHS whisky bottles of both Gentleman Jack, Wolford Reserve as well as other kinds of hooch on one particular table near center of store. While the bottles were quite lovely and tasteful (damn: I didn't snap a photo), I didn't get one for two reasons... 1. I ain't paying $50+ for a $35 bottle of bourbon 2. I ain't livin' down stink eye from the Queen Bee That said, we had to pass through saloon itself to get back to car parking lot. We didn't bother stopping for a cold one and shoot pool, darts or Jack. There were plenty of biker dudes to keep 'em fairly busy for an early weekday afternoon as it was. They seem to have a basic menu of bar food in there also, but I had no desire to stay. Queen Bee got what she wanted, and I became a supportive spouse for the day! I'm sure that anyone reading this should know that once Bike Week, Race Week and all that stuff get closer, this place will get exponentially more crowded. I'm also sure that anyone reading this should realize that this place caters to bikers/riders, particularly Harley ones. Signs all over the place warn patrons to keep out their attitudes, animals and gang patches. At the same time, they are quite accepting of the mostly regular people who just happen to ride. So if you're one of those folks, this lil watering hole slash sub/cultural icon, then there ya go. Mix and mingle with all sorts of fellow hobbyists from doctors, to plumbers, executives and lawyers to teamsters, carpenters and sawyers.

Unfortunately, during the pool tournaments here on Tuesday and Friday nights, this place hosts a…read morecabal of witches who run the tournaments. So I'm a local here in Ormond by the Sea. I belong to a group of about 600 journalists across the country who participate in a blog about their experiences. Here is the recent post I sent my journalist friends about my experience at Frank's, and then Hanky Panky's, and the responses I got from fellow journalists: DANA WILKIE writes: How to Get Kicked Out of a Pool Hall So, for years I've been shooting pool recreationally. Typically, that required having a pool table in my home, which I sometimes did, or frequenting pool halls and bars to seek challengers. Recently, I began playing in tournaments at our local hall and, boy, is that learning curve steep. APA rules are different from bar rules, and so I've learned new terms like "ball in hand" and "in the kitchen." I've acquired new accoutrements, like a break stick, a shooting glove, and a pool tip shaper. These are high competitors, these pool tournament folks, and they don't suffer amateurs patiently. Compared to them, I'm a rank amateur. I was schooled about A) not chalking up the table too much; and B) not hovering too close to the table to view my opponent's shots; and C) how to improve my piss-poor, anemic breaks. So it was that I frequented another local bar here in Ormond Beach, Florida, by the name of "Frank's." There, beyond the view of these tournament sharks, I practiced on my own - perfecting angles and bank shots, learning about "walking the dog" (pool slang for rolling a ball against the rail all the way down to a corner pocket) and trying not to chalk up the table. This went well for some time, until I ran afoul of Frank's bartendress, who apparently took an instant disliking to me. Surly and rude - to several patrons, I've heard - she chided me for leaving my debit card behind, for playing music on my iPhone that "nobody wants to hear" and for - you know - chalking up the table (even though Frank's provides abundant chalk for just this purpose). So apparently, according to patrons, I further irritate said bartendress - she is inaptly named "Charity" -- by talking too much with her boyfriend and shooting against him. So, things started to get ugly. Charity's boss, the two of them friends, marches up to me one evening after I walk in, and declares that I was spotted lifting someone's purse the night before. First, the purse in question belonged to a friend and fellow shooter who asked me to move it from one chair to a chair closer to her. Second, while I'm hardly made of money, I'm not yet at the point where I need to pilfer purses. I try to object, but then realize that this owner, her name is Annette, has it out for me. So, I return to Frank's and try not to chalk up, keep my iPhone on silent, retrieve my debit card dutifully, and avoid said bartendress's sometime boyfriend. Only to be confronted one more by "Annette," who claims that there have been "too many complaints" about me and then announces she's banning me from "Frank's." Now I fully recognize that an establishment's owner has the freedom to refuse service to anyone, for any reason. I'm also aware that what went down here was about jealousy, pettiness, and retribution. Regardless, there are other local halls - including the tournament hall where shooters are tough -- but friendly and helpful. In any event, I sort of consider this a badge of honor. I've been kicked out of a pool hall! Wait 'till my future grandchildren hear about it. Meanwhile, the rumors of my apparent transgressions drifted down a few blocks to the new pool hall I began frequenting -- entitled "Hanky Panky's." Before long, the owner there, a man by the name of Mike, had it out for me. So did the woman running the tournaments there, who quickly found reason to kick me out of said tournaments after I beat her a few times. Eventually, owner Mike --a thoroughly messed up and apparently coked or methed up guy -- kicked me out as well.
