[quote=Anonymous][quote]I grew up in DC and there were and still are public pools throughout the city. I always assumed that was normal until I moved away. DC really is extraordinary in that way.[/quote] Some big cities are near many lakes or on the Great Lakes or the ocean and have beaches nearby. DC does not. It has the Potomac River, but that has been a working (and dirty) river for the most part. Secondly, it gets hot in DC in the summer and recreation becomes limited to the pool. Those are the main reasons that pools are very important to recreation around here. And we are only getting hotter. [/quote]
