No way, cheesehead (said with regional affection!) -- born and raised in BERWYN!!!! Illinois, with a husband raised off Division, bubbler is NOT a Chicago phrase -- no one south of South Milwaukee (we live in Milwaukee now)used the phrase bubbler -- threw us for a loop when we moved here -- had no idea what anyone was talking about. We said drinking fountain. (Though, in retrospect, Webster's dictionary does recognize bubbler in their definition as a drinking fountain.) Go figure (another Chicago phrase!)

NO WAY. NOT a Chicagoism. NEVER heard it till I moved to the Appleton Wi (actually Neenah) area.

Of the kind that flows continuously. If you've seen one, you can picture it, even if you haven't heard that term.

These days, the ones on Michigan Avenue are where bums (the homeless in modern parlance) take their "swirly bath".

Drink from it. I dare you!
