[Summit] Please don't get in or on the fountain

[Mark Binder]

The problem with the fountain is that it’s so freaking lame.
In Rome, you can drink from the fountains, which is awesome.
In other cities you can put coins in.
Some fountains are beautiful works of art.
Some fountains spray water in amazing patterns.

“Our" fountain looks like a boring penis with a urinary infection and dribbles water.

I’ve often thought that what happened the first time it went dry was that whoever was in charge at the time said, “eh. not worth fixing.” 
Then that person died or went to another job and some newbie went, “Hey! A fountain.”
Then after it got fixed they went, “Oh. That’s disappointing."

And kids aren’t supposed to play in it.

Yawn.

I’d love to see someone tweak it so that it sprayed water like crazy!
