Closing
In September 2006, the gym closed temporarily after thieves stole copper pipes cutting off water supply. Boxers relocated to a Dearborn Gold's Gym. The gym and recreation center was officially closed by the Recreation Department on November 28, 2006 due to the prohibitive cost of repairs to the plumbing and building infrastructure.

And throw the tough cortex away....”
