First Font Adopted in PLG
A tipster sent in this photo of what she believes is the first adopted fountain in the Adopt Le-Font program we wrote about last week. She writes, “I’m so proud of my neighborhood! Although, I must say, if I didn’t know that this was an art project and a temporary installation, I don’t know how…
A tipster sent in this photo of what she believes is the first adopted fountain in the Adopt Le-Font program we wrote about last week. She writes, “I’m so proud of my neighborhood! Although, I must say, if I didn’t know that this was an art project and a temporary installation, I don’t know how happy I’d be if my neighbors installed one of these in the front yard as a permanent thing…”
Closing Bell: Fountains of Brooklyn [Brownstoner]
Spotted one at the northwest corner of Sixth Avenue and Union.
Spoke to Bubby- she’s sending the wine!
lurker, oy gevalt, that was hilarious. But I’m worried your sacreligious comments might have my orthodox Bubby rolling over in her condo in Miami as we speak!
I saw my first one out of the corner of my eye about a week ago in Boerum Hill and pulled over to let traffic go by so I could back up and check it out. Having seen the pre-publicity for them, I was really curious.
The water outlets from each tub is a tiny little dribble. I’ll let you use your own imaginations to figure out what it reminded me of. I guess if you made them any bigger, they would need pretty substantial pumps, but the way they are now they just look cheesy.
I like the idea, but the execution really leaves something to be desired.
Hard to tell biff- it look like they may have done away with the tops, in which case I vote for filling them with Mogen David wine and toasting Elijah in a literal display of My Cup Runneth Over. Little lights, latkes,-you could recycle from Chanukah to Pesach. (Succoth could be a little more problematical).
The tubs would be pretty handy for even the most rambunctious of dreidel spinners. I think they have a lip on the top that would prevent the timeless toy from slipping off before someone hit a gimmel!
I wasn’t thinking of the holiday thing…more of an ethnic italian or mexican look. Equal time of course to our Jewish friends during the holidays…paint some of them blue
Of course you would also need the tin foil star and balls for that special seasonal touch.
And then you could still use it at Xmas
