Compton Water Tower Access?

Post by memory_machine »

Haven't you guys always wanted the chance to climb to the top of one of St. Louis's historic water towers? Well, now we can. How cool is that?

That looks neat.
What's the point of making a point if the point you are trying to make is pointless? Do you get my point?

I did that last year. You have to pay to get in. It is really cool, though.

Yeah it was definitely worth the $5, especially since I had been wanting to go in there ever since I moved here.

That stand pipe is really gigantic. I'm wondering if there are defunct tunnels under it, bet so.
