Florence Y'all Water Tower

Constructed in 1974, this 1-million-gallon water storage tank originally advertised the upcoming Florence Mall until federal highway billboard regulations forced the mayor to hurriedly modify the 'M' into a 'Y'' for just $500.

The move: Drive down Mall Circle Road to capture photos of Northern Kentucky's signature grammar hack, then grab a frozen custard across the highway.
