The Rollman Rink was saved by Trump. You had to rent skates or have your own. Helps keep out the riff raff.

Looks like it’s about 90% “diverse”.

...No joke, there was like a two-inch slick over the top of the entire pool... Suntan oil, right? Right?
To: MinorityRepublican
The line just to get in, since it’s completely free
there are two lines:
Line 1: Free stuff until it runs out.
Line 2: stuff you have to pay for but it doesn’t run out.

“… there was like a two-inch slick over the top of the entire pool,” one pool-goer said. “I literally wretched looking at it.”
I’m ready to barf thinking about it. There’s people inadvertently drinking that slime.

It’s difficult to keep a pool’s Ph balanced and bacteria levels controlled. Can’t imagine the condition of a pool that size and that overcrowded. Would be easy for the health dept. to shut down. And that’s saying nothing about the restrooms or locker rooms, which usually are even worse. — former lifeguard

RE: slime on the pool overnight....
From one of my favorite movies, The Magic Christian (Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr, Racquel Welch).
The point is the businessmen and investors in their suits will dive into a vat of slime to get money.

Now we know why Carnival doesn’t particularly want the ghetto on their ships anymore.

Go to a pool in NY City. Beware of what you bring home with you.
