Pool of Pride
If a swimming pool represents status, as some believe, San Francisco need dip its head to no other city. Big enough to float a fleet of small boats, its Fleishhacker Pool, 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide at its narrowest part, is certainly the world's largest. Alas, the pool lies in San Francisco's chilling fog belt, hence attendance is apt to be slim. But officials insist the pool is a public service well worth the $40,000 the city loses on it each year.
