I like to know where the springs are around town where water that just bubbles up from the ground. We had 1 on the farm growing up, and it was where my grandmother would often root plants. There are a fair number of springs in town, including 1 in the basement of the old movie palace theater. (I have never seen that one, having never been in the basement of that theater).

Today I went to this one in a neighborhood south of the river, located in a park. The water just runs continuously from the pipes --
Wayside Spring

I found an abandoned building nearby in the park with lots of graffiti and was surprised to find a shrine to the Buddha!

Additional Info / Later Update: Turns out the structure that the Buddha and other graffiti was on is the foundation for a house that was never built. It is called the "Amoeba House" and was left uncompleted by an architect named Jamgochian who also was the architect for the "aluminum foil building" here in town.

Here's another picture I took that day that shows more of the walls of the foundation with the graffiti on it.
