The St. Louis Blues won 2-1 in the Stanley Cup matchup Thursday against Boston and now lead the series 3-2. The Blues are only one win away from the Stanley Cup championship.
City workers provide the fountain with an algae treatment on a regular basis. This time, the workers used a coloring that represents the St. Louis Blues.
Alton Mayor Brant Walker said sometimes the algae treatment liquid is either red for Alton High School or blue for the Marquette Catholic school colors, which creates slightly more interest in the fountain. Mayor Walker said he thought it was fitting to stay in tune with the Blues' adoration and said it would be great for St. Louis to bring home the NHL title in one of the next two meetings with the Bruins.
