Description:

If you're standing in front of Buckingham Fountain, and feel a sudden urge to sing Sinatra's "Love and Marriage" when the center jet shoots water straight up into the air, there's a reason! The rococo fountain, inspired by the Latona at Versailles, was featured prominently in the opening credits of "Married...With Children." Dedicated in 1927, the fountain has been a centerpiece of downtown Chicago long before the sitcom about Al and Peg Bundy's dysfunctional family.
