Oh yeah? Try finding a phone booth.
I still see drinking fountains where I always saw drinking fountains: public schools and parks. If y'all were encountering them in other places in the past, that's a new one to me.
My kid's schools all still have water fountains, but this is SoCal: the schools are all fenced in, and the water fountains are shut off unless school is in session.
There are drinking fountains dotted along the Pacific Electric Trail, running through Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, etc, and they are of the magical variety. No matter how hot it is outside, the water is hotter. I got water so hot out of one of those fountains, it took a good 20 minutes to cool down to the ambient temperature, around 90º. I could have made tea with it. It was not refreshing.
One of my favorite things that are sadly also disappearing? Drive-thru dairies. Can grab a bottle of water without even getting off the bike.
