[quote=Anonymous]Uh...DC pools are not open during the week when school is in session. So...if you are picking your kid up from school, you will be spending the afternoon outside of a chain link fence looking at a concrete slab surrounding over-chlorinated water. And, in the fall you will be looking at the same thing. And the winter. Except there may be some padlocks and pool covers. Meanwhile your kids could be running in the grass and rolling in the leaves and sledding in the snow. Or playing tag or kickball. Or learning to throw a softball. Or listening to the birds. Or being inspired to paint a landscape of the changing seasons. Stated otherwise, which DC outdoor pool would you envision here? DPR said their model was the pool at Upshur. Go there try and take a look, then try to imagine that at Hearst. Then think: FC pools are open about 500 hours each year. The rest of the time the sit thre and do nothing except...sit there. And you want a pool because...why again?[/quote]
