Words by John Mellencamp..When the walls come tumblin down











Just one short week ago, the pool, although in an unuseable state, was still a recognizeable piece of history for those of us who enjoyed countless hours as youngsters in the sun. Today, the above pictures are what is left of the pool. Not much of all. Pretty much total destruction. But where there is destruction, there lays the groundwork for the progress to come with the new state of the art pool facility to be built and functional by May 2010 as stated in The Democrat today.


The paper described the facility as costing $ 625,000 which was approved by voters this past year and while the funds will not all be collected to pay for the project, the city will be able to finance the project thru the MO Public Utility Alliance.

There are many people to thank for this and I personally am very thankful that it is all finally becoming a reality.

This is a little sad but kind of exciting. Will the new pool be a public pool?

Yes, the new pool will be public, but have no idea the fees.
