I do not think any of the new things should be copied from history,
so much as inspired by history with a modern twist/purpose. What
originally started my thinking along the lines of the Natatorium,
was the idea of an 18 inch pool. I was thinking, ugggh, after all
those plans and speeches, is it already turning to, well, what can
we put in that's cheap? (And easy to remove if it does not work
out).
Would be nice instead of a quasi beach club, with a tiny pool, MM
invested in a higher end health club with a pool that was inspired
by the Natatorium. Does not have to be an exact replica or 4 stories
(jeesh) just something permanent. The modern twist being a health
club/beach club and not just a giant indoor pool. It was just an
idea.
There have been a lot of tries on the BW the last few years. Deep
then the Cabana Club. The Tiki Bar then the Beach Bar, to inside at
Shiver - which is never open...To an art gallery, and a glass
shop... To a crappy mini-golf course... All cool ideas, but all very
temporary. Let's try this and then that. Lets slap a new coat of
paint and repurpose... Would be nice to yes work on restoring the
assets and then add more permanent fixtures, buildings, amusements
to the BW, inspired by what AP was...
Oh and to that comment about the Stone Pony, if anything, that
building should be restored or expanded, not torn down!
So, here's hoping that the assets will be preserved, that MM does
not just slap a new coat of paint and open up a bunch of restaurants
only to pull out in the Fall, and that no one drowns in the 18 inch
beach club pool!

idea of the Natatorium should be done again. Will it? Unless
things are changed drastically, i doubt it. I think the 18 inch
wading pool will be built on that site! Arrgh.
