Friday, November 30, 2007 – 1940 Confidence

The Urho Saari Swim Stadium (The Plunge), 219 West Mariposa Avenue, El Segundo – built in 1940 by Work Progress Administration (WPA), an historic building per the city's new historic building ordinance, the first and only building in El Segundo to have such a designation.  The mood of the country was different back then. As of the name of the place, you have to be into water polo – see Urho Saari: Olympian.
