Fill in the pool, build bocce courts and let them eat cake

At a recent City Council retreat, ’twas suggested that the city fill in the swimming pool at South Valley Middle School and build bocce ball courts.

Parking not included. Just kidding … I think, but sometimes you just shake you’re head and wonder about the inability to connect the dots.
