City pools are practically closed

The bathroom closure announcement is probably the most unfortunate and glaring change in the city’s gutted rec budget, but I’m really disappointed that almost all the pools will now only be open 3-5 PM. There will be no city pools open after 5pm, and several pools — including my beloved Glenn Hall pool — will be closed to recreational swimming entirely. The changes take effect Monday. Oh well, at least the kids can play in the sprinklers, right? Oh wait.

Tomtom, priorities are like punctuation marks — nobody’s got ‘em.

And yes, I meant “to wanted it.” I’m very sofisticated.

We’re not getting more police or sheriff deputies…in fact, we’re getting less.

I remember working at the pool as a cashier a couple years ago. We got a whole lot of kids from the surrounding neighborhoods and summer programs. Sad that it’s become one less place for them to go, especially during the summer.
