Chicago - Buckingham (close)

This is the Buckingham fountain, located in Grant Park. If it looks familiar, this could be for one of two reasons. Firstly, it was modelled after a fountain at Versailles. But, more likely, it was the fountain featured in the opening sequence of the lame 80's sitcom Married With Children. Other fun facts about the fountain:
- The four sea creatures surrounding the fountain symbolize the four US states surrounding Lake Michigan: Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin.
- It recycles 1.5 gallons of water.
- From 9 to 11 pm, there is a light show timed to music. Very pretty. Joe and I watched on Wednesday night. Even danced along a bit...
