We used that area for a downtown scavenger hunt once. I really don’t get the logic of throwing down all this concrete and then, after uglifying the area, telling people they can’t even use it.
Years ago I use to cool my feet in that fountain. Oh to be young again with hot feet. Now that plaza would be the place if that silly iQuilt becomes a reality to take over and do something with. And I’m not talking about another piece of art that sits there so the cozy up folks can ga ga over.
I had a dream last night that the city was art from one end to the other. Or should I say from the Bushnell to the River. Damn didn’t I wake up with a tooth ache, an eye strain, a backache from walking and a neck crick, GAD it was like being in a all the time carnival, like too too much cotton candy and taffy. No, maybe leave the forbidden zone alone Let it be a place just of rest and heat and a fountain to cool our feet. ha!!!
Where in Hartford would you find this?

mdc fountain, main street
Kerri Provost
Yes, indeed.
Next to the perpetually cordoned off plaza.

Once on the Gold St. side, I saw a kid on bmx bike 180 the whole stair set. It was awesome.
And, that’s why those stairs shouldn’t be cordoned off.

I’m sad because I actually knew this one and was so excited to finally get my bragging rights.
Richard
Ah gee, finally I know where a place this place is and Brendan gets there first.

And here I was, thinking this one might be way too obscure since it’s sort of hidden in plain sight thanks to the forbidden plaza.
