There are really bad ideas and really good ideas. Combining the new
swimming pool and a deli (one with amenities like those provided in the
old Moscow Hotel) sounds more and more like a good idea.
We're not talking crusts of sourdough floating in an olympic pool, we're
talking a pool plus areas that will appeal to different segments of the
population. "I'll meet you at the pool for lunch" could become a
fashionable (and down-home) invitation.
