Is badminton very popular there? They should at least be able to convert it to pickleball pretty readily. -- nm - znufrii Aug 15, 13:48 3
- There's plenty of places to pickleball and they can play outside. Badminton courts are inside and need specialized air handling systems - JD Aug 15, 14:48
- I was surprised it wasn't pickleball ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 15, 14:03
- Apparently that's who showed up to the city council meeting. So that's a lesson learned for everyone -- nm - con_carne Aug 15, 13:59
That seems like an expensive gym. -- nm - Loyola Aug 15, 13:45 5
- So, Irvine is pretty shi-shi. But also, did you see the alternative that was rejected a year ago? -- nm - con_carne Aug 15, 13:58 4
  - No, was it good? -- nm - Loyola Aug 15, 14:07 2
    - If $65M higher cost is considered good -- nm - con_carne Aug 15, 14:12 1
      - That’s mad. -- nm - Loyola Aug 15, 14:17
  - Meanwhile they have no interest in building a cultural museum in the Great Park. We're the only major county in California that doesn't have one. -- nm - Meg Aug 15, 14:05
