Begin your walk on the northeast corner of Monroe Street and Michigan Avenue. As you face north, to your right is Crown Fountain. This interactive fountain by Jaume Plensa features visual images of ordinary Chicagoans on the two identical 50-foot monoliths, with water periodically shooting out of their pursed lips. The use of water shooting from their lips is similar to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains.

During the summer, you will see kids of all ages splashing and cooling-off from the Chicago heat.
