But while an opening is still unsure, today—right now—the famed Washington Square Park Tisch Fountain has sprung to life in its newly realigned home. A test run

The fences first went up around the fountain in December 2007, and though access is still denied (unless you just walk through the open part of the fence and act natural; see after the jump), at least this controversial chapter in the park's history is nearing an end.
