Here is a dandelion fountain in Winston-Salem that obviously has not been designated a priority for safeguarding during the U.S.'s present societal collapse. It will be lost to us soon!
-----------------------
In downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on April 2nd, 2023, a fountain in a plaza outside the Winston-Salem Journal Building, on the west side of North Marshall Street, south of West 5th Street.
According to the official documentation of the Downtown Winston-Salem Historic District, this part of the building is from 1982, and I initially assumed the fountain would have been from then, too. But then online I found a picture from 1970 showing the fountain (or a similar one), at the same location or nearby.
