Scenic Sunday - Do Not Enter Fountain

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage - ABR - SRES




Although you can approach from the plaza, a walkway and a driveway, the sign, Do Not Enter Fountain caught us by surprise.

We aren't sure if they mean, literally, do not get IN the fountain or if it's more of a "caution, do not enter because there is a fountain here."


Either way, we did enter, and our guess is that others do too.  The fountain is a series of water jets on a flat surface that are programmed to "dance"  

Maybe they think people won't notice and will try and walk through?

I'd love to see that photo!  The "bad gateway error" is annoying, isn't it?  I think I've found that if the resolution is too high, you'll get that error.  I've found that if I use Picnik to re-size the photo, then AR will accept it!

Hi Michael ~ I think if it was a hot day I'd be tempted to jump right into that fountain!

Anyone with kids knows that a fountain looks like the world's greatest playground!

Liz - Me too, I'm only sorry I didn;t find this in August.  Next year, at midnight, in my birthday suit . . . . dreaming.

Penny - Interestingly there is a kid's playground directly across the driveway that looks as if it's never seen the patter of little feet.  This is a fairly new condo development and, from my viewpoint, not particularly kid friendly although they have thought ahead.
