Only the most curmudgeonly grammar polizei would fault you for citing something appearing in print.

 

it is indeed sad news; I hope steamworks in Berkeley manages to survive ...

The Water Gardens was such a nice place.

I'm surprised these places aren't trying to set up GoFundMes to help with this.

Sad, sad, sad. I have lots of memories from the Watergarden. I was at the Watergarden when I learned that Princess Diana was killed. (Not my only memories.)

This pandemic is so tragic and far-reaching. I am blessed (so far) to have nobody I know made ill, or worse. But, hearing of this is so poignant. My BF and I have gone regularly for, like... 9 years? We used it like a resort hotel... enjoying nude time at the pool, the jacuzzi - and private time in our own room. We got to know some regulars, and used to marvel about an upscale bath house managing to feel like a safe place and part of our fabric. I know a LOT of people are and will be hurt financially by this pandemic, and the loss of this place hits me with sadness because we cannot make more memories there... but also with immense gratitude for what it provided safely for many, many years. What a loss.
