This looks gorgeous. Yimby did not mention the waterfall. I assume that it’s still part of the plan.

Took these photos JUST for @robertwalpole, the photos dont show it, but the wall fountain was on 👍 it’s a very quaint public space, though I’m sure its much more lively in the first half of the day. ![20230331_193828](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/0/5/056c4d3e602a29d1a06504b6f3a017600009ca88.jpeg) ![20230331_193754](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/5/c/5cbcc785baa9eb04b011eed1608b7c450a48f3e8.jpeg) ![20230331_193733](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/8/a8da1cb76931d9529b7a23b22dad3567a00118a2.jpeg) ---
