Kannapolis. NC.
Thanks for the info Matt.
It breaks my heart to see this great NC (and national) landmark in Kannapolis be demolished. The water tower was part of the old Cannon Mills/Pillowtex Plant. It was the tallest water tower east of the Mississippi River. I can remember having towels as a child that said Cannon Mills. I wish I had known before hand - I could have tried to stop the demolition. Check out this video but remember your tissues.
If only Kannapolis had the initiative that Durham had by saving their historical water tower and embracing it.
