Water Fountain – El Camino Plaza

I recently discovered that there is a Unilocal page dedicated to a fountain. This simple fact brought about a deep yearning to find out what is so special about this minor attraction in an already unappealing shopping center.
This fountain has became a symbol for the city and buildings surrounding it: old, rundown, and decrepit. The City of Tustin is (supposedly) working tirelessly to revamp Old Town Tustin, but this fountain is the centerpiece of its failure. It has been here since the beginning. It has seen much strife: budget battles, droughts, city council members stuck in perpetual incumbency (Gomez, Murray, Bernstein, Nielsen, Puckett).
Through this strenuous strife, the fountain has stayed strong. Despite its age, It consistently spurts water from its spigot no matter what is happening around it. Through the good times and bad, this fountain continues to function.
This fountain tells us that we don’t need new fancy attractions. It is easy for city government to spend money on «new» and «innovative» projects, after all, they aren’t spending their money. They are spending our money! As a people, we must stand together, stand behind this fountain, and fight for what is right!
We need more things like this in the world. Items that are build to last, build tough, and build in america.

#Local Flavor, #Zen Zones, #Hidden Gems:
Located in the SW’ly corner of the El Camino Plaza, near El Camino Real and Newport Ave. This Water Fountain/​Water Feature is in the middle of a brick paver courtyard. It’s older and seen better days but still nice to listen to while contemplating what to eat next.
Currently a decent choice of eateries Here! Long Hai, Kitajima Sushi & Thai, Rasoi Curry, and Snow Station. This «plaza» has other businesses worth a look.
