Leaning Water Tower

Located in Groom, Texas on I-40 is the Leaning Water Tower which is the last surviving element of the Britten U.S.A. Truck Stop. It was brought to Groom by Ralph Britten to serve as a tourist attraction and a reason for people to stop at his truck stop and ask questions. For travelers today the truck stop is gone but the water tower still stands - well, sort of.

You can hear the well meaning souls telling Ralph his tower is about to fall over. Interesting that it outlasted him.
