AF on the NYC grind.

Welcome to my Tumblr. My name is Alison Fischer, I'm the editor for the New York-based online pool & billiards magazine, NYCgrind.com. Pool has been a major focus in my life, and I play competitively throughout New York and beyond. Competing has allowed me to travel the U.S., and move from a sleepy Wisconsin town to the city that never sleeps. While my work with NYC Grind focuses on pool news, I have created this space for general musings on life, music, and whatever else.
