At The Fountain In Downtown Marshall Michigan And Stuff

Posted by Alan McLeod on Sunday, August 16, 2009 in Travels and Other Places - 1 comment

I got this photo last Tuesday as I popped into Marshall Michigan near the Indiana border. The town has a diamond shaped square, if that makes any sense, with this colossus of a fountain. Didn't stop to read the plaque. I should have as I wondered why a town of under 6,000 souls had such a monument to municipal waterworks.

And I am not sure why the cantaloupes had to be confirmed as being from Indiana when they were sold in Pioneer, Ohio.

"At the time there were several sturgeon in the pool and in 1909 the City Council voted to throw a log into the park pool for the turtles."

Beautiful.

Shadow Cabinet Posts
From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.

Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
The View South - SOLVED!
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.
