Still There

I guess we all know what episode this was seen in all those years ago, strangely looking on google maps the site is still there untouched

That is the episode where they set out to swim at the abandoned pool, right? A bit on the sad side. I bet it was a hot spot for fun escaping the heat in the summer time. I remember as a kid going to our local pool a lot. We even went to a few huge ones which had what seemed like hundreds of people in them. A thing of the past now, bit like drive-in movie theaters. :-/

There was a pool like that near where I lived, it's under an industrial estate now. The school I went to had an outside swimming pool, it too had fallen in to disrepair, but was still full of water and overgrown with weed.

Often, after the spring floods, the swimming hole would end up in the section of the creek that flowed through our farm. Except during a polio epidemic, all the youngsters in the neighborhood had an open invitation to swim there as long as they brought an someone expert in lifesaving with them who could rescue them if they got into trouble. My parents knew who the local experts were, so they could regulate that part of the invitation.
