In addition to the ice, I wanted to show the proximity of the fountain to the cars of the city.

Most of us would agree that the fountain's basin ought to be brightly painted in light blue. Right now it looks like it is filled with dirty riverwater.

The depression had ended and people in the U.S. were out building skyscrapers again I guess.

Try not to be such a comfortable aesthete as to forget to associate the building with the distinctive political and social oppression of its time. Anyone with the means to cause a large commercial building to be erected in Georgia in the 1940s should not be presumed to be basically decent, right?

This pompous "C.R. Rader Co." is a local jewelry retailer, sheesh.

I don't buy jewelry because it's a waste of money but if I did I'd avoid C.R. Rader because I wouldn't want the company thinking I admire its parking lot ethos.
