HAHA, FALL, 2028.
Let’s start a pool. Based on the history of efficacy and speed demonstrated by the City Governing Body I will make the first educated guess. Winter, 2032!!
Anyone else interested? I am hoping some of the history of Ocean Beach will be preserved in the upgrade. Those little tables and children’s books have been there for at least 70 years.

Fun days for a little Nerd.
