Mississippi water fountain... You know the water runs backwards from what it use to? Right by the corkscrew.

What corkscrew? I still can't place it.

The corkscrew walkway that is over the RR tracks. Kind of leads from midtown down to where the old kiddie coaster was located. As for the location of the photo I would have actually got this one, but to late to the party

I've always thought of it as the best place to fill up my thermal cups. Seems to me to be the coldest water fountain in the park. I love the talking bucket next to it as well!

...and it's shaken, not stirred...

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Sure has been quiet around these parts. Too quiet if you ask me.

You're right about that. School started and those of us who teach for the government (Read: public school) are under more stress than a human can physically or mentally endure. I'll try to get something going for you.

I cannot believe we are already 13 days into the new school year.
I feel like I have been in a full out sprint since the first day of school. I come home and completely collapse. So. Not. In. Teaching Shape. Yet.

This marks my second year out of teaching, and what I've noticed the most is that school jargon (teacher talk) has already changed since I left; meaning the titles of programs, acronyms, new teacher requirements (common core was being put into effect when I left). I still have teacher friends call to ask me questions sometimes, and I have to tell them that I don't know what they're talking about!

Get it when your life get back into a rhythm. I don't teach but do tech support at a university. My life has felt turned upside down for too long now. I'm only now getting back to the city this next weekend. Its been since memorial day weekend since I last went.

Swoosh · September 03, 2014, 08:49:38 PM

Just a heads up that they are expecting 20,000+ this weekend. They are only open Saturday and Sunday. Apparently big corporate weekend.

Thanks for the tip.

Madtwins · March 09, 2016, 12:25:50 PM

Is there any way we can start this game again lol

mhguy77 · March 09, 2016, 08:54:28 PM

Would be fun

Swoosh · March 09, 2016, 09:21:49 PM

I can head it up this year. Give a couple weeks and I'll post a couple a week
