Hudson, You Need a Fountain? Here’s a Fountain for You!

Posted on Fri,Aug 16, 2024Sat,Sep 14, 2024 by Trixie Starr

Are they accepting applications for new fountain ideas for 7th Street Park, yet?

I understand that the requirement for the fountain is no naked women. Fine with me.

Like Hudson’s sidewalk tax mimicking the sidewalk tax of Ithaca, NY, Hudson’s new fountain can mimic the fountain of another college town – Bologna, Italy.

When I shot this video on a recent trip, I thought to myself, when am I ever going to use it?
It’s like taking video of a fireworks display. What are you going to do with that footage? Rewatch it?
The expression on the Nereid is similar to how I feel during Common Council meetings.
It’s hard to see, but each nipple has four sprinklers.

The Fountain of Neptune was built in 1566, over 400 years ago, well before the City of Hudson was a thought in a Quaker whaler’s head.

There’s no naked women in this fountain. There’s a naked MAN (the trident held by Neptune was the inspiration for the logo of Maserati) and four topless NEREIDS (half-woman, half-mermaid). Their breasts are sprinklers – and unlike Hudson’s Splash Pad – these 400 year-old breast sprinklers still work!

The fountain would make an excellent Hudson key chain souvenir, or water pistol, or maybe a sprinkling boutonniere. It has my vote.

    I’m always up for a good fountain and if it has a naked man….sure why not.

    This is hilarious – though I know you are quite serious! You may have shot that footage in Bologna but your article is baloney! Loved seeing this.
