Fountain of Neglect

Re “New Shell Takes a Bow at the Bowl,” June 10: After a $25-million renovation, the Hollywood Bowl will be completed for the summer season. But the fountain at the entrance still stands unloved. The Art Moderne fountain has sat, not working, for many, many years. Surely there would be some money to repair it. It is the entrance to the Bowl and a landmark to and from the freeways. I and thousands of drivers pass this poor lady twice a day.

The L.A. Zoo is installing a new entrance to the zoo. Should not the Bowl people be so inclined to see the fountain running?
