en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulphur_Springs_Water_Tower Here's a little information about a local landmark that has existed in my hometown of Tampa, FL for longer than I can remember. I hadn't thought about the tower in years but then for some reason it crossed my mind and I found the above link that has some interesting facts and history about the Tampa icon. ;D

I remember going to all night movies there at the drive-in...I was still in high school.

I remember something like that. Of course things change rapidly around here and I didn't end up going before they shut that down. :-)

Hey, that thing does have an interesting history. Thanks for sharing!
That's a bummer. The top of the tower could've made for a nice observational deck.

I know it would be quite an undertaking to make the tower safe for ascention but it would probably attract a lot of visitors myself included. If the tower remains for any length of time that idea might be considered. |

I was driving up Dixon Ave. (just north of the K-Mart on Waters) the other day and saw this mailbox:  Naturally, I had to go back with my camera! The real tower is less than a half mile south, and I could sort of see it, but several tall oak trees kept me from getting it in the shot. |
