We discovered this pool in Houston’s Fifth Ward District. The Rainbow Inn was open for business (to mostly prostitutes, pimps and drug dealers), but the pool appeared to be inoperable. We drained the last couple of feet of water from the deep end and we had our spot. I think management was just glad to have it clean. We skated there for a year or so.The resultant staph infections from the many scrapes were pretty gross, but, hey, when you’re young, none of that matters. I apologize for the quality of this video – the 8mm film has been sitting in a box in my garage for 30 years. It definitely brings back some memories though! I have a buddy who I didn’t even know at the time tell me he skated it. Pretty wild. Anyone else out there skate this spot?
