Can you leave your pool open?

Hi Judy,
I moved to NC in 1981, but go to Florence at least 2x per month as my parents are still there. Are you a native or a transplant? Hope you enjoy your pool as much as we have ours and like I said it really gives a dull winter day hope for better weather!

Hi,

I am a native of Florence. Whereabouts are your parents? When I got married I moved to Timmonsville and lived there until last year, when we bought a house in Forest Lake. We just built the pool this year and we are loving it! But we didn't buy a cover and with all this talk of closing and opening pools, I was wondering if I needed to do that. I don't like the look of a cover, but I also don't want to look at a big green swamp all winter either!

It won't turn into a swamp over the winter, my neighbors don't take very good care of their pool and theirs does fine...actually looks better in the winter than summer. The covers never appealed to us because of the debris they collect plus we have pets and I really didn't want to risk them getting into trouble walking on it.
My parents live off Second Loop Road, near Highland Park Methodist Church. My father had a drugstore Palmetto Pharmacy(where the Garner Law firm is now ) for 30 years or more. He is retired for the most part but fills in
at Moss Pharmacy and Dixon Drug.
I love the area that you are in, Florence has grown so much..not a small town anymore!
Someone will probably tell us to go to private messages rather than use the forum....
