Aaaah, finally! You got it bro.

It is there that I first learnt to play pool and interacted with the likes of Kamau wa Muigai, Uhunye's cousin and his sista Wanjiru, as well as Ngethi's son who was later eaten alive by mongrels na kule kwa farm yao Zimmerman...half that crowd died in the 90s from mdudu. While Uhunye's cousins and a few like me were disciplined matters sex, the rest used to zunguka the resident 150 gals like a nonsense. Walianguka wote...sad!

I think I should write a book...

Hahahaha. Yes, one of the earliest establishments to have pool tables. I got curious because my old man used to down a few while waiting for the old lady to close shop twende nyumbani. So mid nighties I with my few shillings and now feeling like a man, i naturally went up those stairs and faced Jomo's piercing eye's. The view next to the windows was great. What a great discovery. That's how my father would appear magically as soon as mum closed shop. It's been decades since I sat there. Sadly!

Memories are made of this. There is a nice, romantic Nairobi that has been replaced by 'exhibitions'. Bars like Karai where we used to see akina Finance Minister Gichuru get thoroughly sloshed...

I first saw this picture at a then famous Nairobi entertainment landmark hung as a huge framed poster on the wall, just above the staircase. The establishment was then the meeting place of the scions of Jomo's friends and associates.

I think of the afternoons I spent there swigging a lone Tusker Export, remembering those old friends now long gone and wonder, how truly fickle is life.

Oh, and the lady in the picture just died too. She is Raquel Welch. The picture was taken in 1966 when she was 25 years.

You can use the image to rub one out @mzeiya and join the greats...
