DTW Water Feature
Though the water feature is not new and I've seen it dozens of times, I must say how much I enjoy it as a part of a connection thru DTW and watching how other passengers interact with the water feature. It's so very inviting, almost everyone that sees it for the first time, goes right up to it and touches it. Anyone else know of a similar water feature? Any good stories people have centered around the fountain?
It's a great touch to the terminal.

Well this and the cool tunnel with the lights are just some of the reasons that makes DTW an enjoyable place to kill some time (when you don't have a WC membership).

And what's up with the moving-walkway disparity? Two go to terminal A, but only one to B/C. I assume this is because the flow to B/C is fairly steady, while the flow back comes in bursts (as planes arrive), but it strikes me as weird every time I get stuck behind a group who doesn't understand "walk left, stand right."
