No, no, you're thinking of the Skidmore fountain through which, on the day
of its inauguration, the generous Mr. Henry Weinhardt offered to run free
beer. Given that the pipes are all copper, if Portland's worthies had not
been so stuffy and balky, we might have seen all the green beer a person
could ever desire.
If you are hearing pipes on the westside, that'll be Clan Macleay
practising. Or Mayor Drake in a bad mood again.
