Located in front of the Laugh Factory at The Pike: 151 S Pine Ave. in Long Beach, this fountain has several sculptures in it which remind us of the area's history as an amusement center. The semi-circular fountain surrounds the circular building of the Laugh Factory with several spouts shooting up from and into a pool. The highlight of the fountain are the scultures...an aluminum arrow, point in the pool with the word "PLUNGE" written vertically, the word "TATOO" in stylized aluminum letters, a replica of an old sign for a "Penny Arcade"..also in aluminum. Signs with photos at the site inform us of the tie-in of these sculptures to the history of the area.
The fountain and sculptures are dated 2003 and Michael Davis is the artist.
