Welcome to our new series, “Mild Mysteries,” where we strive to find answers to your burning questions about Lexington that make you go, “Wait a minute...”
The first question we have comes from none other than City Editor Aayat herself, who is a lover of all things water features. In fact, it could be said that an unwritten rule of Lexington is that when the Thoroughbred and Triangle Park fountains are on, it’s a sign that summer is around the corner.
So, why have the Thoroughbred Park fountains been shut off for nearly the entire summer?
We spoke with officials from the Parks & Recreation department, who told us that components of the fountains need to be replaced and maintenance updates are due. The parts have been ordered, and the fountains are expected to be fixed by late fall.
Now, we’re handing the microphone to our readers. What Lexington mild mysteries would you like to have solved? Let us know.
