[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be an outdoor pool in ward 3. Does it have to be at Hearst. Is there any other spot that would work? Maybe at Lafayette?  Or fort Reno?[/quote]

Or on the Cleveland Park commercial corridor itself, thereby making sense of the PP's bizarre post that the lack of a Ward 3 pool is somehow killing it.  Perhaps the swimmers could buy their ice cream sandwiches at Brookville market then?[/quote]

It is the parochial and selfish attitude of my neighbors that is killing Cleveland Park. Whether it is 15 years to get a new grocery store, the adherence to a 1950's parking lane or the opposition to an outdoor pool, it is the same people who are on the other side of what younger and newer residents want as people who will be here longer than those who are fighting these things and have been for 30+ years.[/quote]con'

I don't think that you know what you are talking about.  We are both in our late thirties and have kids who use Hearst frequently.  Our kids play soccer.  We walk there and love the tennis courts.  We don't want to see Hearst paved in concrete for a facility that will be open at most 90 days per year.   We have friends and neighbors who feel the same way, ranging from early thirties to seventies.  In fact, it's the parents with elementary aged kids who appreciate what a great community resource Heart Park is.  [/quote]
