CINCINNATI

Cincinnati's Fountain Square is graced by the beautiful fountain/statues called The Tyler Davidson Fountain which is centered by The Genius of Waters.  It dates to 1867 and is beautiful.

In nearby Hamilton, Ohio just to the north, the downtown area is home to "Hebe, Nymph of Streams and Brooks."  It is also a statue and fountain.

Well, don't run up to see it right now.  Some old dude in a classic car (1957 Buick) ran it down, recently.  She is being reassembled by artisans as we speak.  If Hamilton wants to continue to be called the "City of Sculpture", they better keep the vintage vehicles and drivers off the roads.
