July 10, 2006, Pool Restaurant & locker room report

Catherine's restaurant at the Victoria Pool is improved this year with a more extensive and tastier menu than the last few years. The outside bar is back and a great place to meet and greet your friends. The prices are reasonable and the service can be slow on busy days so go for lunch early and often. The locker rooms and the entire pool area is MUCH cleaner than the last fews years. Lockers, bike racks, and a hair dryer outlet and more mirrors and counters have been added to the ladies locker room we are happy to report. Hooks have finally been installed outside each shower and we are anxiously awaiting soap dishes in the showers. The flowers get more magnificent every day and we are once again the Most Beautiful Pool in America.

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions for what is causing the green water and how to get rid of it? It is not algae.
Now Saratoga Spa State Park is saying they probably will not open the Victoria Pool until 6/24/06. Down whose drain has the $1.5 million gone?
