Dennis Hanagan –
On May 28th, the new Cooper Koo YMCA on Cherry Street held an open house to welcome the neighborhood to all it offers – a weight room with stationary bicycles, a pool, a huge ground-floor gym with lots of basketball nets, a second-floor running track, a green roof, a pilates studio and men’s and women’s change rooms with lockers.
The building is surrounded by large windows to let in sunlight. At the open house, the Distillery District’s Beer Hall offered a complimentary barbecue with chicken and beef sandwiches and hotdogs.
