Day Seventy Five



The old Cookeville water tower came down today. By Tuesday, it will be a fond memory for those of us who played in its shadow at Capshaw school the past five or six decades. It was a true small town icon and as I've noted before a distinctive part of my backyard landscape. Yes, it was rusty and covered in grafitti. But I miss it already.

I remember hanging around the old water tower during play periods at Capshaw. It's sad to see it go and I wish they could've found some way to use it. The Cookeville landscape will never be the same. Awesome pics, sis! Sad as it is, I bet it was pretty neat to watch it being dismantled from your backyard.
