Hayes Scriven, blogger and Executive Director of the Northfield Historical Society, sent this note with the above photos of the Sheldahl 25th anniversary fountain on Bridge Square:
I thought I would send you some more picture of a sure-fire sign of summer. The fountain is up and running! If you notice there is a nice new blue paint job in water bowl.
Is there a “pool” on how long it will take before…
If you’d guessed “one day,” you’d be a winner!
Griff, thanks for posting the pictures. Next time I will have to proof-read my emails before I send them out so my grammar doesn’t suck so bad.
On another note, when I was walking in this morning, I saw that the fountain had soap in it! Don’t you think they could come up with something more orignial?
You can’t be serious…
According to Ross’s post, it costs about $3000 to $4000 every time this occurs.
If that amount is correct, you would think that the city would put in preventative measures, such as a security camera.
How about a Wireless WI-FI camera…oh yea, wait, no city wide wi-fi yet… nevermind.
I’d be willing to let the city put a camera in one of my windows over night to watch the fountaine, if that would help fix the problem.
A REMINDER: The Commuter Challenge event will be in Bridge Square Friday Morning from 6 AM to 9 AM. Carpool, Vanpool, Walk, or Bike to work!
