We visited it often, so I know the park well; I have lain on its lawn, gathered 'round the goat statue, climbed the lion, splashed my feet in the Goose Girl Fountain and kissed the frog statue. And yet, after years of harmless, youthful loitering amongst its foliage, Rittenhouse Square has lost none of its allure for me.
