Lumberton. NC.This is my coworker, Trina, in front of the "all america city" - Lumberton - water tower. Hence the pretty colors. You might remember this tower from when Owen tried to take it from the car window while driving.
What is an All-America City?
The All-America City Award is America's original and most prestigious community recognition award. Since 1949, the Award has honored communities of all sizes (cities, towns, counties, neighborhoods and regions) where community members, government, businesses and nonprofit organizations work together to address critical local issues. More than 500 communities have earned this distinguished title and many have earned it more than once.
South of the Border (SOB). SC. I laughed and got so excited when I saw this tower. We stopped at the tourist trap to get some water and go to the bathroom and gawk like tourists. Once there I had to go in the "Hats from around the World" store. See below.
Darlington. SC. Trina did a good job snapping this picture from inside the car. I think this town is known for its big races because the tower says "Too tough to tame". Another fact we learned while on the trip is that Darlington is the only town in SC to have a pay-as-you-throw trash system.
Columbia. SC.Trina and I went to SC for their environmental education teacher training. In the afternoon we went on 2 field trips - a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and water treatment plant. Can you imagine how excited I was to see this water tower welcoming me? I tried to ask our tour guide how much it cost to paint the water tower but I didn't get a figure from him. He did tell me it is hand painted with stencils. They have 24 water towers throughout the town of Columbia. See a water tower picture from my last trip down.
