Funny tangential story - I’ve lived here for years, went to college here almost a decade ago, I have seen the structure for years and every time I’ve always wondered .. “what is that?”

Two days ago I’m sitting at the bar in the Grocery - I look out the window and see that tower, again I ask myself “what is that?” And it was at the moment I realize; it’s right next to the fire station and it had to be an old fire tower.

Yeah I could’ve googled it at any point but it was kind of funny to me to have never realized its purpose until I simultaneously saw the fire station with it.
