My aunt from California used to love Oregon water. <br /><br />Now I live in L.A. and I only drink the water from the tap if it has a filter.XOXO - K https://www.blogger.com/profile/10715208697173843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-23563636177745482132011-08-18T18:28:34.022-07:002011-08-18T18:28:34.022-07:00I'd still drink out of them again! It's no...I'd still drink out of them again! It's not like the bums are sticking their tongues or body parts INTO the spouts and pipes. It's still clean! It's actually cleaner than using the faucet in your bathroom to wash your face or brush your teeth. When toilets are flushed, contaminated water droplets sprays ALL over the bathroom (6-8 feet up and out), spreading bacteria all over the place. We live in a germ-filled world. Drinking from a fountain that a bum washed his face in isn't gonna hurt you.jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081876926389855583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-38192539417716882462011-08-18T06:10:38.185-07:002011-08-18T06:10:38.185-07:00I was going to say how awesome this was until I sa...I was going to say how awesome this was until I saw the first comment. :(minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353187576456219127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-90434148908883917532011-08-03T10:03:39.401-07:002011-08-03T10:03:39.401-07:00When i was in Portland, when I was about 11 years ...When i was in Portland, when I was about 11 years old... I was super impressed by the drinking fountains too! It's just awesome! Lake Tahoe has my favorite water. It's so cold and fresh out of the tap!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-74733926061383614192011-08-02T17:32:53.562-07:002011-08-02T17:32:53.562-07:00I live in PDX and must say we have the best tap wa...I live in PDX and must say we have the best tap water ever! I never buy bottled water because straight out of the sink tastes just as good.<br /><br />The drinking fountains you are talking about are called Benson Bubblers. Here is a bit of history about them:<br />http://www.uniquely-portland-oregon.com/benson-bubblers.html<br /><br />Communikate is right - bums regular use these to bathe and most locals won't touch them. However, it looks like you lived so no harm done!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968017163570110847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-72315316398418644842011-08-02T17:24:17.682-07:002011-08-02T17:24:17.682-07:00ummm, don't cry, but we regularly see bums bat...ummm, don't cry, but we regularly see bums bathing/splashing their filthy bodies with those fountains.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058256192583515265noreply@blogger.com
