The city of Florence just joined the city of Covington by announcing the Florence Aquatic Center will not open this summer. Sad times for sure.

 

Hopefully it's a very mild summer. I would expect crime rates to soar this summer.

I don't know man. I understand Covington, they are broke, but I am disappointed in Florence for making the call this soon.

 

Crime does concern me this summer and beyond for multiple reasons and no way to cool off is one of them.

Almost had to do that, otherwise most everyone from Covington shows up at Florence.

Using that logic nothing should open.

Still a money decision for them according to the article. I'd say the city is taking a big hit financially right now, just like most are.

Florence is rolling in cash, I don't believe it for a second.

 

And if the Aquatic Center is a money loser then it should be shut down permanently.

I'm sure there will be an increase in trespassing and disorderly conduct complaints as soon as things heat up. The neighbors backyard pool is going to look awfully appealing to the kids that have been locked up in their own houses for months.

That surplus can go away quickly when the city starts bringing in a fraction of what it regularly does.

The longer we stay closed and the more we close the worse it gets.

Why the rush to open when the numbers and projections show huge benefits from staying shut down just a couple more weeks? We are missing an opportunity and wasting the shutdown if we open too soon. Just two more weeks will be well worth it at this point. Places that open too soon have weak leaders.

 

Weak leaders and impatient citizens.

I believe it is a very, very small minority of citizens pushing to open now, but the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

I disagree, I think the mostly silent majority is ready to roll.

Oh, we all are ready to roll. The large majority realizes it is better to roll in a week or two versus tomorrow.

OK, I'll rephrase that, Lets say Ky. opens everything and Oh. doesn't, do you want everybody from Oh. in your pool?
