Hot Springs was very interesting,  The former playground of the rich, famous, and infamous because of the "curative powers" of the water - both drinking in it and bathing in it.  Bathing was a multiple- stepped process that took several hours.  Today only 2 bath houses remain open, the others succumbed to knowledge - knowledge that penicillin cured more than their waters.  However, for a long time doctors did

 send people to "take the waters" and there was evidence it helped what ailed ya.  The water did filter up from the center of the earth and literally came out of hot springs on the surface.  Several springs still exist and there are public "fountains" where people can come fill containers of water.
