The Fountain at The Circle

[Alan Gould]

Many people in LOCCNA neighborhood drive by the Fountain at The Circle where Marin, Los Angeles, and Arlington streets intersect. An organization called Friends of the Fountain And Walk recreated the fountain in 1996 and more recently has produced a 24 minute video about it that can be seen at the organization's website (https://www.berkeleyfountain.org/). It described how the fountain was first built in the early 20th century, destroyed in an accident in 1957, and rebuilt in 1996.  The video is on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os-F6Q-L3OQ&t=3s

Wow, what a wonderful video!  Thanks so much, Alan. I've stopped it several times to take screenshots of the maps of our neighborhood when it had streets -- with the names we know today -- but no houses, apparently.

And Live Oak Park didn't seem to exist: Berryman Street continued uninterrupted from Henry Street eastwards. 

Bravo to the filmmakers!!!
