Discover the enchanting Buckingham Fountain, a Chicago landmark that mesmerizes with captivating water displays. Operating every hour, the fountain's major show features a central jet soaring 150 feet high, creating a spectacular visual feast. The magic continues after dusk, as vibrant lights and music accompany each hourly display. While the fountain hibernates during winter, its grandeur is a sight to behold, offering a stunning winter backdrop.

Al Bundy or An Awfully Nice Family....here was a location for the intro...the fountain....very nice in the day with the skyline in the background...Willis Tower, Hilton Hotel, Chicago Loop...and very "cheesy" at night because it is illuminated in different colors.
