Interesting that CNN mentioned Martin Luther King Jr in the article as the City of Atlanta spent a big chunk of downtown Atlanta's TAD (same thing as TIF) money on the MLK Aquatics Center. But the byline says it came from CNN's New York office so maybe they don't know much about Atlanta.

I also wonder if like so many other primarily outdoor activities (the MLK pool happens to be indoors), there's a generational decline in interest.




Well yeah, the kids can’t easily use their smartphone while swimming. So they prefer not to swim.
