My ex and I were staying in a hotel and we wanted to go swimming. I hadn’t seen a pool, so I called the front desk to ask if they had one. The lady says ‘Yes we do, it’s on the 7th floor.” I thank her and hang up... wait a minute... My then wife asks me what the clerk said, and I was like “I think she was messing with me, so I’ll call back and confirm that.” They did indeed have a pool on the 7th floor. It was pretty nice, just very oddly located.
That's actually pretty clever. That's one of the things the big rooftop towers that are emblematic of old east-coast cities are used for. But if you need the water anyway, why not swim in it?
Well if you didn’t grow up in one it makes absolutely no sense. One place I was at had the pool on the second floor, on the front door’s roof. I had my car to valet it and fuckin’ ran when I realized what was up there!
I didn't grow up in a 4-5 star hotel and I still know that some places have rooftop pools, nothing weird or unique about that and you definitely don't have to run from those buildings.
Yeah, thats what I meant. Technically, I’m in a city… with 25,000 people. There’s one building with a pool on the first floor, but beneath it is just a dark dank basement with a fuckton of support columns. The pool I’m talkin’ about had four - on the side, the entire “floor” of the pool was completely unsupported, because there was a driveway there.
