[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't blame the neighbors- who wants a pool filled with urine 3 months out of the year sitting in the middle of a nice green space. Lots of people coming in from other neighborhoods. Sounds like they made right decision to nix the pool.[/quote]

Why would people be coming from other neighborhoods to use this pool? Other neighborhoods have pools. It is the same false argument that people made about the Wisconsin Avenue Giant, that people would be coming from all over the region to use this particular store. In fact, other neighborhoods up and down Wisconsin and Conn Ave have grocery stores. Most of the people who use our Giant are from the neighborhood.

Same thing with the pool. It will be a great community asset.[/quote]

I would like a pool, but please don't call the giant Giant a "great community asset."  It may be a newish big box, but it's still pretty crappy even compared with Safeway.  It's so gross to have to walk a gauntlet of Giant employees smoking outside the front entrance.  I don't give Giant more than a couple of years there after Wegmans opens.[/quote]
