For those who watched the the television show WKRP in Cincinnati, know that one of Cincinnati's most prized possessions is the Tyler Davidson Fountain located smack dab in the middle of Fountain Square, downtown Cincinnati.
It has been moved several times since it was donated to the city in by Henry Probasco, in memory of his brother-in-law and business partner Tyler Davidson and dedicated in 1871, but with the recent renovation of The Square, the The Genius of Water now faces south.
Last night, I had a late happy hour at McCormick and Schmick's, located just across the street from the square and that's when I saw it. The completion of the renovation of the 5/3 Bank building (located just north of the fountain) was signatured with the array of changing lights that faded in and out of site.
I am impressed....the city is starting to get their stuff straight.
