The new Prismatic Electric Fountain managed to break through all the news on the Democratic National Convention. Not knowing what to expect beforehand, more than a few people were surprised at how dramatic and impressive the night time fountain shows turned out. After it was dedicated, photos and stories of the fountain started to appear on blogs and web sites and even YouTube. Here are just a select a few of them:
