Not a destination, but this fountain is worth noting when you drive through town.
Bay area artist Seyed Alavi made the sculpture in 2012, public art for a city renovation of a couple of downtown fountains. It has been compared to C-3PO and an Oscar statuette.
The piece is appropriately titled “Fountain Head.”
