I’ve been trying to convince Tim to include my very favorite local water fountain in the “Best of Big D” issue for about 22 years. Today, he rather cruelly broke the news that it’s never going to happen. Forget you, Tim; I’m taking my news straight to the people. Here’s the deal: I’ve gone for runs all over this town–from Oak Cliff to North Dallas–and I’ve sipped from a lot of fountains. In my opinion, no place has finer, colder water–year round, mind you–than the Highland Park Police Department. I don’t know how they do it, but I urge you, do something physical, pop into the dispatch office, and drink up. You’ll thank me. (Lucky for everyone, I just happened to bump into Elizabeth–and by bump into, I mean called her to meet me there–and she was able to snap this photo of me. The water makes everyone a star, apparently.)
