I have a set of CPC chips that I had custom made for my poker club. Since then, I have stopped playing in that club and am considering relabeling the set into something more personal. My grandmother is the person that taught me to play poker when I was a kid, like 8-9 years old. My father always referred to her as "Sadie" although her name was Lillian. My grandparents owned a bar in the Kensington section of Philadelphia called Thompson's on the Hill. I spent a lot of time in that bar when I was very young and remember as a 4-5 year old, riding up and down in the dumbwaiter between the bar downstairs and the residence upstairs. There was a bridge across the street that we used to climb on a lot too. It was the corner bar that Rocky walks into in the original Rocky movie and talks to Paulie in the bathroom. It had been sold and renamed to Lucky 7 Tavern when the movie was filmed but it is the same bar. It was demolished sometime in the '80's. So I am thinking I would like to create an inlay for Sadie's Poker Room, or Sadie's Card Room or maybe just Sadie's and somehow work the bar into the inlay. Below is a picture of the bar. If anyone with way more creative talents than me is willing to share their ideas about what this might look like, I would very much appreciate it.
