“Three… Five… Ten Kids In The Foun-tain…”

A much-abused hydrant in the 1200 block of S. Main Street in Walnut Creek was assaulted by a vehicle again Friday night – triggering an impromptu “Trevi Fountain” moment with area kids who lined up for a joyful splash through the burble.

Our photographer caught the moment and the class picture recording of the moment afterward. Just a reminder that when life hands you a broken fire hydrant, treat it like a water park.

    Nice work! At first, I thought I heard a Five Pennies reference, but no, that was 1 cornet in the bay. This is Three (or so) Coins in the Foun-tain…
