Three of the pictures were from South Park pool on the city’s Eastside, including one photo with a dozen “young mermaids” in swimsuits and swim caps. The fourth picture highlighted Dr. and Mrs. John Coleman of South Gramercy Place who were “among the lucky Angelenos who have a modern swimming pool on the grounds of their smart California home.” (Click to view PDF.)
