Whenever I hear the phrase, "Nothing to see here," it makes me
think that there IS something to see here, it's just that the person
saying it doesn't want you to see it, and wants you to go away. A locked
gate is a way of saying that without words, and it just makes me want
to peer inside.
This gate leads to an abandoned, decaying pool in my
neighborhood, which is kind of sad, especially in the summer, when it
should be filled with children and squirt guns and beach balls. At night
it's downright creepy, but since I can't get inside, there really IS
nothing to see from this side of the gate, except the orange glow of the
city night sky in the distance.
By the way, the pool is scheduled for demolition later this
year, and I can't wait for this space to become a vibrant part of the
neighborhood again. -Cort
Nothing to see here....for now. In 27 days though, there will definitely be something to see! -Dina
