The Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain rests at the 'front door' to Chicago. Reported to be the second tallest fountain in the world, it sits along Lake Shore Drive and runs all summer. At night, the water is illuminated by colored lights. During the off-season, it is lit up with strings of white lights. It's also the fountain seen in the opening sequence of "Married...with Children" TV show.
