In my apartment, the letters marking the old shower stalls are still on the walls.

Also you were only allowed 1 hour swim time and had stand outside to get back in, if you had a dry bathing suit. Also my grandfather poured the mold for Billy Penn hat at Hellerman and State Rd. I have a very old photo of this.
