Florence Y'All Water Tower

This bright red-and-white striped beacon shines invitingly even in the dark of night. Built in 1974, it was originally emblazoned with "Florence Mall" to advertise a soon-to-be built shopping center. However, because the mall wasn't in existence yet, its advertisement was deemed as illegal. A cheap solution was to change the "M" to a "Y" with apostrophe, paying homage to the popular southern colloquialism. This is where life imitates art - the catchphrase is the namesake of the Florence Y'all Festival and the local independent baseball team, the Florence Y'alls.
