Looks now like a barbecue of some kind.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right, we still have them too in the parcs.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you took this recently, right? I never did like these water fountains what with every kind of sick person in the world drinking from them, and it always seemed the person who was the sickest got his/her mouth right down on the spout. Ugh! Looks like a bird might be building a nest in this one! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame, especially since I hate carrying a water bottle.
ReplyDeleteThey've gone the way of the phone booth.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like abstract art!:) I still drink from fountains at times, though most no longer work of course...
ReplyDeleteRarely see those now!
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, water tasted good from drinking fountains. Nowadays, it's yucky.
ReplyDeleteYou still find them in the parks around Toronto. There are often even drinking fountains for dogs with the bowls down low for the thirsty beasts!
ReplyDeleteWe drank either at a fountain or out of a garden hose.
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
DeleteYeah I remember those days too!
ReplyDeleteUgh!
ReplyDeleteThe janitors in the schools where I worked used to "sanitize" the drinking fountains but that didn't make them any less unappealing.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The only ones I see these days are for dogs.
ReplyDeleteandy...I hadn’t even thought about it, but you are right. now, i know why the track at my old school where bud runs and i walk never has fixed the water fountain. duh, genie. it is a bit sad.
