The only river nearby is very dangerous to swim in and people drown in it every year because it suddenly floods and there are no flood sirens. I don't have a pool either and public ones are gross. Also there are leeches in the river. So when you do swim you gotta pull them off. AC is expensive and it's easier to warm up for me than cool off. Plus, white skin is better for low sun environments and dark skin is better for hot sunny areas because melanin. That's why we get darker after exposure.
We have Ellis Park and Washington Park pool here in my area. I live in Cook county. There are 2 areas: Chinatown and niggers.
Guess where all the public pools are in my area? In bronzeville, the blackety black scary part.
Like the actual "Southside Chicago" part of Chicago.
