That fountain is one of the most unimpressive fountains I've ever seen.

And what is it with people who are too stupid to know how to go around it? I see people taking short cuts to the left all the time. Are drivers in Tulsa really that stupid?

Confused and inexperienced would probably be fitting.  

4 way stops?  Yes, our minds can handle it, for the most part.

Roundabouts in Tulsa?  questionable

This isn't the only one in Tulsa. There's Admiral Circle and another one on South Hudson. If drivers are so confused and inexperienced that they can't make a better choice than to crash into it, they have no business behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Oh, I agree.  I really thought the original champagne glass bowl was ho-hum.  But the new design  is really pathetic.  How much did it cost to "repair" the fountain?

I know this.  Have you watched people on Admiral?  Take some popcorn and a chair.  It's a show.

Tulsa drivers can't even handle a four way stop much less a traffic circle.

truly pathetic and uninspiring.  Shame on those responsible. This torpid example of civic pride is simply embarrasing.

I had to look that up

tor·pid1      /#712;t#596;rp#618;d/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[tawr-pid] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective 1. inactive or sluggish.  
2. slow; dull; apathetic; lethargic.  
3. dormant, as a hibernating or estivating animal.  

1.  slow and apathetic; "she was fat and inert"; "a sluggish worker"; "a mind grown torpid in old age"  

I disagree, I feel very ert.

OK so the drivers insurance will cover the missing chunk, who is paying to take care of the tire mark in the photo as well as the curbing?

Is this from the 2008 or the 2006 incident?

Why in the world did it take this long to settle? She hit it with a car. Not complicated.

Any news as to what kind of repairs will actually be covered on the Fountain?  Or is the repair so small I've missed it?
