I've slurped water from hundreds, maybe thousands, of Milwaukee bubblers, but every time I take a drink from the one in Back Bay Park I think to myself, "This is a damn fine bubbler. Perhaps the city's finest." (Or something like that.)

So, if you, like me, are a connoisseur of the bubbler, this is worth noting.

Back Bay Park, on on Terrace Avenue on Milwaukee's East Side, has a small-but-mighty bubbler that's a popular stopping place for runners, rollerbladers and playground kids and their parents. In my experience, it is always cold -- but not too cold -- and just the right amount of pressure. (I hate wimpy bubbler dribble or when it arcs too high and blasts you in the face.)

This town has other bubblers worth bending over for, and perhaps you know of one. If so, enlighten us via the Talkback feature.
