Subject: [Leica] IMG: This fountain was no improvement

A year or so ago, I posted a photo essay on California Avenue, a secondary 
business district that is about a mile south of downtown Palo Alto.

The city fathers, in their wisdom, have spent a couple of years revamping 
this street. They imbedded glass chips in the sidewalks to give a festive 
effect, and until some of it was redone, had some dangerous bits of 
sharpness protruding. They loused up parking in the area for two years. And, 
curses, they replaced a lovely spouting fountain, possibly because it was a 
lure to pranksters who liked to pour blue dye into it.

The replacement is hyped as a unique sculpture, in that it ?works? whether 
or not water is flowing. I no like!
