Yep, that's the area alright. Last I knew it was the Jensen's. The All Iowa Attack Jensen. I worked at Hilton with him, his wife, brother as house staff.
The 2003 attempt, which would have included a 6-lane/25m indoor pool and an 8-lane/50m outdoor pool, water slides, leisure pools, and kids areas only got a 43% yes vote (needed 60%).
They junked the indoor pool portion, scaled the outdoor portion back, and tried again in 2007. That passed, and became the Furman Aquatic Center.
So, how
I'm wondering if Carr was still open at the time and then Furman passed when Carr was shut down?
Carr closed at the end of the 2009 season, and Furman opened in May 2010. So there was really no gap without an outdoor pool.
Yeah, I guess I can kind of see why some may have voted down in 03 if Carr was still open and not beyond repair and then voted yes 5ish years later when it was evident Carr was dying.

Based on the clues, I think people are referring to New Life Church, which is north of the golf facility, on the southern outskirts of Ames, and on the west side of 69.

Dude, they did all but type the word "Cornerstone." That's the one they're talking about.

I think i am now in the "Ames People". On facebook group. Non of this should surprise anyone.
Start a thread on FB on Ames People on thoughts on the aquatic center. I dare you!!
Then again the mods that control that group are pretty thin skinned and would shut it down right away if it doesn’t go along with their agenda. If they are the same mods, they vote against any kind of bond related improvement.
Then again the city decided to narrow 30th street by the north Walmart and add bike lanes in curb gutters all the way along 30th and going south on North Duff to 16th. Then they put a right turn lane in to boot. Those bike lanes are horrible as they are where the asphalt and curb gutter meet and the holes, junk, etc that are in those lane do not make for a safe biking path.
