Some drunk driver will make our piece of history become just that. - citizen Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:05:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4873#comment-2602 It would be nice if someday it could be restored to its earlier function as a fountain. Am I mistaken? Even better for the future would be finding a way to make it more accesible than the manner in which it is located in the middle of a traffic island. - Jason D.

(I will forever associate The Tongue with Safe-T-Pops.) I later played around it with my siblings during Festival International once the bank had closed, with its drive-through offering a shady spot for our parents and a pretend jungle for us kids. I might have even snuck a beer hiding out behind it with friends in High School. Our city would have lost a beautiful, unique and interesting piece of artwork that represents Downtown Lafayette's history and spirit and kicks up nostalgia in all who remember it in its original place. Personally, I would have lost a key memory of my childhood that I can now, thanks to those involved, share with my own daughter when she visits me at my Downtown office. (except for sneaking a beer. She'll never do that.) Much appreciated, ACA, DDA, LCG, and all else who made The Tongue a permanent fixture in our downtown landscape. - Nostalgic and Thankful Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:47:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4873#comment-2577 Hey man, I thought is was a sculpture of Timothy Leary. - Surpreme Leader (of the backyard) Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:41:38 +0100
