Hockey idea

If there is truly no way that the city will ever reopen the pool, then your idea makes a lot of sense Mr. Tompkins. It just seems a shame to me that all that money was wasted on this boondoggle where it could have been spent on police, firefighters, or even the pool you suggest filling with dirt.

How about laying down all that proposed asphalt on Third St. and Arch St. so I don't have to replace my shocks every 10,000 miles.

Global Warming.

When was the last time (except, recently) you can remember temperatures low-enough, for long-enough, to maintain regular skating-conditions (at The Armory)...like we had during the '60s & '70s???

I remember skating at Penn St. along with the tennis courts on Fourth St. I think filling the pool and making an 'all purpose' surface for flooding and other activities is a great idea....and a low cost idea too. I must also agree with the comment concerning the street conditions.....bump....bump....bump!!!!

Hey sham, maybe we can invest in some Al Gore carbon credits. According to air head libs taxation lowers sea levels and temps. blowhard leftists insist that is the absolute cure for "global warming".

If it stayed below 32 for a long enough time flooding a pool might make sense. It rarely stays cold enough anymore though.

Fair is fair Jack, and when you're correct, you're correct I say it. Global warming? Correct.

Ya' might want to clue-in lil' eric88 to that factoid.

He's (obviously) much-too-young to have as lengthy a point-of-reference, as yourself.

Have a fundraiser to repair the liner, People would donate.The city owns the water authority so Water could be free. How much could liability insurance be??, the youth from this town need a pool and more walk to soccer & sports fields
