"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

  1. 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.

  5. 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.

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