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.
ReplyDeleteha, i was going to come ask you if you knew what the building was, i couldn't find anything on it and you beat me to it! you're my "go to" guy for historical facts!
DeleteI'm reminded of the water tower in the town near where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteLovely quote and I do like American water towers so much!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I can see everything without ever getting out of my bed :-) This one is sososo familiar.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.

ReplyDeleteI like to look for them when traveling.
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I visited Troutville. I think that water tower has been there longer, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteare there places that don't have water towers? i wonder? they are just a beacon for so many locations, pictures, memories. ( :
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
I like the water tower, but I think that old building is pretty interesting too. Happy New Year to you too Tanya!
ReplyDeleteWe have a water tower in my small town, that is a landmark spot. Always nice to see them!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much like the one in Strasburg, which you can also see from Route 11.
ReplyDeleteYour water towers are always interesting to see Tanya, I never spot them here.. mind you I don't go country often :)
