Greetings, Highland Park Neighbors! As many of you will no doubt have read in Saturday's Post-Gazette, the reconstructed reflecting pool and fountain are now finally complete: <http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04241/369259.stm> I'm fairly certain that the reporter is wrong when he wrote that the fountain was originally built in 1930. Photos and postcards dated 1900 and earlier show that the fountain has been there all along. It has been reconstructed several times, so perhaps that's where the date of 1930 came from. Anyway, the fountain was running Saturday morning when I was able to snap a few photos of my own. I've updated the Highland Park web site to include a current photo as well as the ones from 2002 and circa 1900 that were already there. The photo from 2002 may be of interest to new residents of the area, since it shows the reflecting pool being used the way it was for over 30 years: as a giant flower pot! <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/park/entry.htm> Further landscaping work around the fountain should begin soon. The entire area around the fountain is supposed to be complete in the spring of 2005. By the way, the fountain is not yet running continuously--it was not running yesterday evening or at all today that I saw. I don't know whether it will run regularly before spring. Rudy
