The Bucket Fountain returned to Cuba Mall on Thursday. This was apparently very exciting news.
The fountain is located right outside of the office where I work so we got to watch them reinstall it, with it's shiny new fresh coat of paint. And now I get to listen to it splash all day. Much of it's charm seems to stem from the fact that it doesn't work properly and tends to splash water all over the sidewalk along with any unsuspecting pedestrians that get too close.
The fountain has quite the following. It has it's own Wikipedia page and a webpage devoted only to the Bucket Fountain, complete with souvenirs and screensavers!
