Fifth Avenue Is Our Memory Lane

My visit to the Mississippi River town where I grew up led to rediscovering our old downtown district with my friend Barbara. But where does the water come out in those fountains?! Go to Design2Share.com for the latest expert home design tips, advice, diaries, blogs, videos, and photo shoots.

That's what the mayor spent our road money on. Great fountains just ruin your shock and struts to drive to see them.

Good point. Thanks for watching!

Hah, the water comes out of the bottom of the stand the sculpture stands on. =P

Those thick sticks the animals are standing on-- those rods are slightly lifted above the rock, and water gently flows from it.

=P

Clinton's a nice town--smells a little, but it's nice. ^^

YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!!! It really bothered my friend Barbara and me about where the water came from. Your explanation clears up the mystery. I bet the fountains are quite nice in the warm-weather months! I agree with you about Clinton being NICE, but that corn processing in South Clinton really does make the air smell a bit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Best, Jay

I think the post office is so cool; it would be fun to buy it and turn it into something neat. I bet it's fun to live downtown! I would love that. Are the fountains gross? I couldn't figure out where the water comes out! LOL

I LOVE Clinton!!! It's a lovely old small town and from the American Civil War until about 1900, it boasted more millionaires per capita than any other city in America. It's come upon hard times, but it's fighting back. xxooJay
