The better pool sticks allow you to produce more shots from each pool stroke, which in turn will enable you to shoot more frequently, and this, in turn, helps you score more points.

What are the benefits of investing in the best pool cues?

The first thing to consider is the price of the pool sticks that you decide to buy. While you can pick up some decent pool sticks at any sporting goods store, the best ones will typically run you hundreds of dollars. You can also go online and look at buying pool sticks from manufacturers like Dynamic Pool Cues, which can save you thousands of dollars.

The last consideration that you’ll want to think about when you’re looking for the best pool sticks is whether or not they come with anything to assist you with improving your shots.

Community Sites & Meeting Places

By far the most frequently used sites by Italians in Los Angeles for social and cultural events are Casa Italiana (in Chinatown) and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura (the Italian Cultural Institute, Westwood). While the first tends to host banquets, Italian associations’ monthly meetings, St. Joseph’s Day Tables (See: CELEBRATION, Folk Festival), patron feast days, and Opera productions, the Westwood institute, the IIC (the Cultural office of the Italian Government abroad) promotes Italian (rather than Italian American) cultural activity and caters to a Westside crowd. The first is generally associated with the established Italian Americans community while the later with a more contemporary Italy-centric cultural milieu.

A Bit of History: The Scalabrini Order and the Italian Community. The Missionaries of St. Charles (Carlo Borromeo, 1538-1584; Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, 1839-1905), known as the Scalabrini Fathers or Scalabrinians (an order, founded in 1887 to serve the needs of immigrants, and today continues to serve migrants and refugees), have provided leadership on many fronts within the Italian community, besides the strictly religious. Since 1972, they have administered St. Peter’s Italian Church, focusing on social and cultural programs, as well as the pastoral. They managed l’Italo-Americano for decades

(See: MEDIA, Publications, Newspapers), organized Italian classes, encouraged traditional patron saint day observances and other traditions. Under the energetic leadership of Father Donanzan, they were, in the 1970s and 1980s, one of the major unifying forces in the local Italian community. The Scalabrinians undertook the rebuilding of Casa Italiana, increased attendance at St. Peter’s Italian Church (the only national parish in the diocese), and built Villa Scalabrini (the retirement center for Italian seniors in Sun Valley; cf. monument to the Italian immigrant). The fundraising campaigns for these projects are remembered as rare occasions of Italians rallying behind a common cause.

(see: INSTITUTIONS, Italian Government Offices)
Churches, St. Peter’s Italian Catholic Church in downtown Los Angeles, and Mary Star of the Sea Church, San Pedro, are primary sites for religiously-related events (See: RELIGION; CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS, Religious Associations). But Casa Italiana also hosts Opera productions, meetings, dinner dances of the various organizations, from the Sons of Italy and the Italian Lawyers Association, to the Federated Italo-Americans of Southern California.

Recently other centers of social and cultural activity have been gaining prominence. The Historic Italian Hall Foundation (El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument), has recently restored the Italian Hall (historically, the social center of the early Italian community), and continues to work on the project of creating an Italian American Museum in the heart of Los Angeles.

A bequest by George L. Graziadio, with funds from other local organizations, (e.g., Frank De Santis, former OSIA president, see: CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS), made possible the endowment of a Chair in Italian Studies at California State University, Long Beach. The Graziadio Center for Italian Studies organizes community events at the University—a rare meeting of town and gown among Italians!

A few Italian organizations have their own meeting places which serve a variety of social and program needs: Orange County American Italian Renaissance Foundation, the Italian American Club of San Pedro, the Garibaldina Society.

A Bit of History: Italian Hall in the Heart of the Pueblo.The official inauguration of the Italian Hall (est. 1907) as the first Italian American Museum in Los Angeles was held during the summer of 2004. Italian Hall, still undergoing repairs and restoration, is now part of the city-owned El Pueblo de Los Angeles in downtown Los Angeles near the art deco train station, Union Station, and next to Olvera Street, a prime tourist destination.
