Trippin': Chicago - Buckingham Fountain

Located in Grant Park, the Buckingham Fountain is probably most recognized in the opening sequence of Married ... With Children. The first time I came here, the plumbing was turned off since the temperature was near freezing so I didn't get to see it the fountain in all of its glory. I went back just so I could get the full effect. It was just magnificent. I love water fountains and again, I wish Houston would invest in more simplistic areas like this. It's just a big serene park with just trees, grass and flowers. Oh yeah, and a big arse fountain. If I had read up on this place before going, I would have known that the fountain has this twenty minute water show that takes place on the hour every hour. Argh. Another thing missed. I guess I'll just have to go back!
