FACEBOOK THOUGHTS
- It’s perfect for a vintage bar with unusual waters, vintage sodas, AND cocktails. Fun, unusual light food and desserts that change frequently would help keep it interesting year round. We’ve added lots of community rooms to places like the hospital, community center, and library over the last few years but the Hall of Waters would have been the original and best space for community rooms.
- I would like to see the Water Bar as it used to be also I would like to see a spa, massages, arts. Maybe a few meeting rooms, yoga, exercise, healthy things.
- Learning space for crafts and other hobbies. Teach all ages new things.
- How about a concert hall?
- It would be amazing to have something like they do at Union Station. A few nice eateries, specialty shops, event space, all while maintaining the historical significance and beautiful architecture.
- Ballroom where pool is. Restaurant around water bar. Health spa.
- A pool. And open the polio pool up for smaller, younger, or handicapped.
- An arcade full of games such as Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz, and Daytona USA.
- Museum! With the current museum site used as an annex and for museum activities and classes.
- Arcade, skating rink, dance/pool hall type thing … kids who don’t do sports need something to do.
- Movie theatre
- Restore the Water Bar and mineral baths and. Also re-open that beautiful indoor pool. Include, up scale Hair Salon, Manicure, Pedicures, a wine garden.
- I think it would be a fantastic place (not sure what us called) to house all thing “art”. A place to go buy art supplies, camera supplies, instruments, repair shops for cameras and instruments and such. There could be a place for cooking classes, art classes, a big pottery room with kilns and wheels, ugh the list is endless!!!! Oh sewing, crochet, needlepoint!!!! Dance lessons…. what a great place. I am so excited just thinking about it.
- A family fun center!! Which has always been a dream of mine to own a place where families could go to enjoy good wholesome family fun and make many memories!! Memories our priceless and a big treasure in our lives!!
