    Apparently this same thing happened the last time the tower was painted, 20 years ago.

    I was going to snap a pic, but there was a lot of extra traffic. I knew this would get on the local news.

    There is a town east of here called Ontario, NY. They have a water tower and, as you'd expect, "Ontario" is printed in bold on the tower. Back when I was a teenager we'd drive through Ontario often. Some kids must have played a prank. One day I look at the tower and some crafty kids had changed "Ontario" into "Blo Farto". Ha ha lol... I still laugh about that to this day. I guess I always had a thing for "low brow" humor.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Gpsfool , I was wondering how they'd modify "Ontario". You have to give props for being creative. :thumbs:
