We're a little over an hour from Gaffney, SC, and the water tower there is shaped like a giant peach. Unfortunately, depending on the angle, and your perception, it can also look like a giant butt in the sky. I still think that might be better than the giant mosquito, though.

So of course the main attraction was a huge black concrete duck. The high school kids would whitewash the duck every summer. The town now has a new, fancy duck out by the highway, but I always went to the back street where the original black duck now lives. He is part of my childhood and last I heard, the kids still carry on the tradition with the whitewash. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312830679861476862.post-82843841452764621922018-07-25T12:09:55.267-07:002018-07-25T12:09:55.267-07:00It is an interesting site to rummage through.
