Festive Fountain
The fountain at Armstrong and Preston has been revealed after being covered by an outhouse looking structure for a few months. It’s beautiful, shining white with hydrangeas, camellias and white azaleas. But, does anyone else think it looks like a wedding cake?

Totally agree. Sugary. Lacy. Defeats the whole thing.
It’s wedding cake resemblance is uncanny. It’s ‘new’ Dallas aesthetic is unmistakable. (No disrespect Plano, Frisco, Allen…)
I live four blocks from the fountain and frequently found myself at the precarious intersection where I used to find the fountain pleasantly charming. Now, it’s simply an eyesore.
Hey HP!
Do you still have your receipt?
What’s their return policy?
Anybody else notice how disproportional the top tier of the fountain looks?
Maybe some nice trailing green foliage in the urns would make the fountian less pretentious. The urns really do detract from the fountain.
