[Summit] Fountain appreciation

[Julia Steiny]

To add to Jon's story:  I was coming back from work in Central Falls
thinking I'd better get lettuce since there was no way I could imagine any
dinner but salad.  Lo!  There was a farmers market at the Park.  I pulled
over and admired the fountain and laughed with the kids getting soaked on
that hot, hot day.  I got my lettuce, some tomatoes and foccacio -- aka
dinner -- and headed back to the fountain where I got splashed,
delightfully.  I haven't set foot in that park since my kids used the play
equipment.

Let me add to the praise of Jesse Polhemus and SNA!  Serious big-time
community assets.  Thank you.
