Avalon - the evil corporation

I live in a very new hi-rise building directly across the river from Manhattan. This is our pool. It is two lanes wide, although the second lane has been truncated to give space to the lovely concrete box that is one of the stairwells. The pool opened for the very first time today, memorial day. The idea of a pool is nice, of course, but this pool and surrounding deck is way too small for the 600 apartments it serves. This picture was taken at 11:30am. The shady part of the deck has marched inexorably Northwards squeezing the occupants into a smaller and smaller space for sunbathing. Whoever designed the building clearly didn't account for the shadow a 39 floor building would cast upon a pool deck located on the 9th floor. Another thing that really irritates me is that they only purchased 8 (count them, eight...for 600+ apartments!) deck chairs. When the chairs arrived, they were artistically situated diagonally and spaced apart in such a way that they used up much of the space of the West side of the deck--in the same way that lazy students use a word processor to make 2 pages of information look like 5 pages. No doubt the entire setup was built only so that the building could boast a pool. There was no real consideration for the actual usage of the pool. It's way too small, overcast most of the day, and to ad insult to injury, the rich corporation (Avalon) that I write my rent check to skimped on the number of deck chairs. But with the Manhattan views the pool deck offers, it will sure make a great picture in the promo brochure.
