"Water tower, it sure is good to see you
I've been away, for way too long
Water tower like a lighthouse in a storm
You help me find my way back home..." Jason Aldean

    There was a furniture upholstery place in that building, I think it moved from the one beside it at one point or vice versa. Anyway, I always wondered why they narrowed the road down at that point. Was a bit of a speed trap at one time.

    I'm reminded of the water tower in the town near where I grew up.

    This is a lovely way to acknowledge all those water towers out there. I have always enjoyed seeing them coming into view on any travels we have had.

    It's been ages since I visited Troutville. I think that water tower has been there longer, though. :-)

    I like the water tower, but I think that old building is pretty interesting too. Happy New Year to you too Tanya!

    We have a water tower in my small town, that is a landmark spot. Always nice to see them!

    It looks so much like the one in Strasburg, which you can also see from Route 11.
