Originally the water tower was used for fire protection in 1949. Was saved from demolition and restored and repainted in 1995. I doubt if it is still being used as a water tower.

Across the alley from The Alamo?

Been up in that paraboloid-lookin' thingy across the river. Nice view!

Again, Collinsville. Cahokia (Monks) Mound.

Thanks Pop for finding that. I was looking for some sort of Civil War Bunker and couldn’t find it.

Shipping is gonna' be a killer!

Or, do I have to pick it up myself?!?!?!

I know I can till it into my soil for a lawn, but it might make the tomatoes and grapes taste "off".....
