Things aren't much better in the outfield, ruts from heavy equipment, clumps of uncut grass as well as whole patches that were never touched. Parking is ample however most of the spaces are crap, my car bottomed out many times just navigating I find a parking space. No port-o-potty to be found, but the one building was rumored to have a restroom in it. All I am saying is I'm thankful to be a guy ;). One awesome, redeeming quality is that the view of the city is wonderful there.

All other eateries are mentioned - the other bakery more than once. Second Daughter was a James Beard Foundation semifinalist in 2022 and there have been numerous accolades since. The other bakery, I noticed the last time I was there, offered a savory pastry that was quite similar to the one that Second Daughter has had on their menu for years. My understanding is that's a non-complete violation. Shame on Bok management for what appears to be biased [in]actions against Second Daughter.

In general, it is an incredible space for the community to get together and/or enjoy works for local artists across the floors of the building. They host events like the Spring Market to attract more visitors, so it can get quite busy during those times, with lines for places like Machine Shop wrapping around the building.

What is wonderful about this pool in the summertime is that it's the largest lap public pool in the…read morecity! If people are complaining about how it's not open long enough, it's because they have a very limited budget every year. I think that they do a wonderful job with what they have. For me, it's also one of the cleanest pools in the city. Two thumbs up to the Shawn and the staff for running such a great place for adults and kids to cool off in the summer months. I haven't tried any of their other programming, but it is a real stronghold in the community.

I'll admit: I wasn't expecting the pool to be so clean! There were some leaves on the bottom, but…read morethe water itself was crystal clear. In fact, this being my first time at a public pool, I was pleasantly surprised all-around: Lifeguards were attentive, crowd was friendly, and this pool is just MASSIVE! But there are a few differences between this public pool and a typical swim club that are helpful to know beforehand: This is not a lush environment. Anyone not swimming needs to sit on concrete, bleacher-like steps behind a chain-link fence that separates the pool from the spectator area. The steps are mere feet from the edge of the pool, but I'd imagine the separation might be a little disconcerting for parents of younger kids (or just a buzzkill for anyone hoping to interact with people in the water). Bags, towels, and personal items have to stay on the steps, too, so I advise against bringing any valuables if you plan to swim, as you'll have to leave them unattended (in sight, but behind the chain-link fence). Finally, anyone entering the swim area needs to walk through a sprinkler/shower that rinses people off before they get in the water. So if you're bringing your kids and plan to walk them to the edge of the pool, prepare to get doused on your way in and out! All that said, it's a city pool. No frills, but a great place to play in the water on a hot summer day, at zero cost!

They fell off. They closed TransWay to anyone who doesn't use Facebook. Before covid you could walk…read morein. Now you can't join. Trying to get a peer counselor who can handle someone with extreme trauma is nonexistent. If this sounds like you let me tell you what happened to me. No help led to homelessness. Homelessness led to violent assaults. Which led to brain damage. Which led to sex work. Which led to rape. Which led to hopelessness. Which led to despair. I'm now sure in America I will be homeless for life. My education means NOTHING. I'm worth nothing. Whether or not you can get help seems to depend on several factors. But if you're handicapped in any way you're not going to find much help here. Our society is very superficial and selfish. This extends to every community. Even ours. Some of us could've been saved. Hope is not just a word. And to me it's meaningless. I'm maybe too old to help. I didn't come out in my teens or 20's so my life is expendable. Yet old age is NOT a privilege I have. That's clear to me now. Don't think about moving to the west coast. It's worse. Don't come out in your 30's or later. There're no programs for us. It's us against the world. Better get familiar with self defense and tactical action. We got no allies. Choice: you come out and keep your career and (fake?) friends and family but be depressed. Or come out and find little to no support and watch the world try to bury you alive. Think being depressed is traumatic? You know nothing about trauma yet. They say "it gets better". They lie a lot. This place may help you. Worth trying. People like me had potential. We tried. But we failed to matter. This place is no longer useful in any way for me. Good luck. This is as good as it gets. Second update: Aug, 11, 2021, this place doesn't care about unhoused trans ppl. Or any unhoused people in this community. Unhoused trans women are extremely vulnerable and get killed the most. Because they have no place to hide. Safety is nonexistent. But I was giving out supplies, what I had. I had food, purses, make-up sponges, masks, and razors, I placed them gently off the fence with everything inside each one nice and neat. The rich gays running the place gave me flack for helping the most vulnerable in our community, because it's not the image they want. That's code for "they're not welcome". This place was only cool to me when I was out as a man. Once I came out as transgender my degrees from Temple University didn't save me from homelessness, and neither did the community. If it wasn't for TransWay catering to the trans community, albeit the housed trans community, cuz unhoused ppl don't have access to the internet and enough battery life for Facebook or for online video meetings. I stepped up, cuz no one else in this bougie ass place gives a damn!
