All stories about "Pools"

From Loft LA comes a photo of the pool at South Park's new Hanover Tower, aka 717 Olympic. Swimming facilities look cozy; rife for overcrowded parties that security will have to bust up. In other 717 news, Angelenic reports the 26-story luxury tower is now illuminating itself in blue neon at night, hoping wealthy renters will be attracted to the light. With rents ranging from $2,500-$19,999, they're going to have to pull out all the stops.

Granted, downtown development 1100 Wilshire has a kick-ass pool (pictured), but why can't its residents use it responsibly? After a recent incident, word of another big bust this past Saturday, an incident in which led to the barring of all 1100 Wilshire residents from the pool. First, a report from a guest who got kicked out: "I went there to visit a friend on Saturday around 6pm and security said the pool was shut down because someone had 45 people at their party instead of 40. Not even residents could go out on the pool deck. It's one of those high school things, 1 person breaks the rules, everyone suffers."

[The locked pool at downtown's Market Lofts. It appears some sort of magnetic card or key is needed.]

Solely because they have cool and lovely pools, downtown's new rental and sales buildings now seem very appealing on these warm weekends. So let's put it out there: Will a sales/leasing agent let you test out the pool? Alternatively, say you prefer to make buying/leasing decisions in a solitary, mediative, and flip-flop wearing state--and the pool is the deal breaker. If you need to go back for a second look, which pools are easily accessible? Which ones are gated? (Not that anyone is suggesting breaking any laws, of course.)
