CHICAGO — Ahh, Chicago, the famous City of Fountains.

We've heard what Chicagoans and visitors had to say on Yelp about Buckingham Fountain, but how about Crown Fountain, aka the faces at Millennium Park?

Crown Fountain dazzled with 4.5 stars out of 5 from 48 reviews.

All reviews credited to Yelp, and may be partial.

Without further ado, we present this edition of Chicago, Reviewed:

Any children encountered during the summer months from now on shall be referred to as "hot little tater tots."

Why pit fountain against fountain? Have you even seen "Married with Children"?

The Bean is for the narcissists; Crown Fountain, the real thinkers.

It is much more disturbing to imagine any fountain with sentience.

We don't smile because it is winter 80 percent of the year, here, OK, Long Beach?

It is kind of cool, both literally and figuratively. If you like some cool water on your toes to help ease the strength of the overpowering summer heat, then we can tell you that you like this modern art, Jennifer K.

We understand not every fountain involves onlookers getting wet, but love the idea of "people get wet on purpose here" being used in more reviews of pools, beaches, etc.

This is the entirety of the review. Straight and to the point. I like your style, Karl M.

Let's hope, Chicago, we can run around in the fountain soon.
