The water was only a couple feet deep, but they had all kinds of water spraying from above from different directions, and yes, you could play on the steps. To the left in the photo where the alcoves are were changing rooms to change into your swimsuit. soozycuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191465111330971796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-59423798742610981152018-06-18T21:42:03.208-04:002018-06-18T21:42:03.208-04:00Thanks for digging up that photo.

There's also a close up of it at the end of that post, with what appears to be a seriously underwhelmed tour group visiting it.<br /><br />https://www.urbanohio.com/forum/index.php?topic=13931.0 <br /><br />You might be right that the panels could have been removed for repair. People did occasionally try to vandalize them when it was on Fountain Square (scratch them up, put stickers on them, write on them with markers).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-74976623094234318792018-06-18T11:24:36.118-04:002018-06-18T11:24:36.118-04:00hahaha, I don't know about that.hahaha, I don't know about that.Ronny Salernohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028420637930256541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-8043862596863391072018-06-18T09:15:47.491-04:002018-06-18T09:15:47.491-04:00Wow, Ronny, this is your greatest article.Wow, Ronny, this is your greatest article.Digital Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782507961551502030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-68017398881146866802018-06-17T20:27:21.632-04:002018-06-17T20:27:21.632-04:00haha, by all accounts it seems to be that not many...haha, by all accounts it seems to be that not many cared for "Law and Society" on the square. However, I'm not sure if it was vandalized or if the reflective parts were just removed over time/are being replaced. Do you recall where it was on Fountain Square? I'll admit, I'm pretty open to artistic reasoning and hearing out someone's vision, but I don't quite understand this piece.

I don't think there was a piece of art in Cincinnati she hated more than that giant hunk of rock. She never missed an opportunity when it was on Fountain Square to comment "It looks like the sculptor tried to carve it but it was too hard, so he just quit after gouging a few scratches in it." To be fair, though, she also had quite a hate-fueled fondness for "Two Rectangles..." at E. 5th and Main, which reminded her of a pearlized grey toilet seat they once had in the bathroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
