Maybe, like me, you've been by the swimming pool in North Hollywood Park, dozens of times. Today, I learned from one of The Museum's walking tourists, that the "plunge" was considered of such importance to life in early NoHo that it was built to be seen as the focal point of historic Weddington Street. (Neat, huh!)
