Hearing that abandoned #Montreal churches are being converted to #pickleball courts.

Seems like a good repurposing idea, and possible origin story for the Cult of the Great Pickle.

"All hail the Great Pickle, may you touch his garlicky barnacles."

@ottaross The town of Magog, in Southern Quebec, converted part of its huge, abandonned, textile factory into a pickleball center. The local club has hundreds of members and a larger waiting list. Lots of active retirees here.

@nantel It's amazing how big it has become.

We have a local two-storey Canadian Tire that got turned into a pickleball (plus other gym stuff) centre, and I see the parkinglot is packed everytime I drive past. CdnTire used was never so busy other than around Xmas.
