[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny to me that people move here and are surprised there’s no outside pools. [b]Welcome to the south, dear! [/b]Most of these pools were started in the 50s...[/quote] What does that mean? I always assumed that the limited number of pools was because of density and high property costs. It's just too $$ to open more pools to keep up with the increasing population. Is there some underlying racial reason? [/quote] Yes. General info (mentions Glen Echo in MD and DC): https://theconversation.com/the-forgotten-history-of-segregated-swimming-pools-and-amusement-parks-119586 Alexandria: https://www.alexandriava.gov/recreation/info/default.aspx?id=27538 Is there some reason to think that Arlington, former home to the American nazi party headquarters, was different? Also there was a letter last year to the VA governor that was requesting including pools in phase 1 of repopening that mentioned that many of the pools in norther VA were founded in the 50s. [/quote]
