Title: Anyone know anythin about McCarran Pool in NYC?
Post by: beedubyah on May 12, 2006, 01:49:00 pm

Bloc Party and Secret Machines are playing there in July and its at the McCarran Pool. Im guessing its outdoors in Mccarran Park but have no idea about the venue/acoustics and surprisingly am not having luck searching for it. I aint gonna head up there for a crappy venue. Anyone?

It's haunted:
 
 Brooklyn - Greenpoint - McCarren Park - There used to be a pool here where a little girl drowned, she is seen roaming the area at night calling for help.
 
 Results of Ghostbusters investigation (http://www.paranormal-nyc.com/1104.html)
