Another Reason to Like St. Paul

What a strange fountain, thought I, until the light bulb went on.   It's a doggy fountain! 

This testimony to St. Paul's dog friendliness was found at Two Rivers Overlook where the Minnesota River joins the Mississippi.   Besides being dog friendly, the overlook itself is a work of art with the map of the river area worked into the walking path using different paving materials.  The view combined with the historical significance of the area make a visit worthwhile.  The overlook is located on Shepard Road just east of Highway 5.
