My Favorite Fountain in Birmingham

You know, I never even thought about the possibility of HAVING a favorite fountain until I went to New China Buffet. (Off Crestwood Blvd., in the same shopping center as The Edge Theater.) New China Buffet is, as my husband says, the closest thing Birmingham has to Vegas. Just walk in and you’ll see what he means.

But my favorite part is the post-apocalyptic fountain. It’s got, I think, propane tanks, random wires, and apparently some very hearty goldfish. It’s strange and compelling…though not particularly great for the appetite.

There are maybe two inches of water in here.
