Home Sweet Home

I grew up about a mile from this fine Cherry Hill attraction. It was visable from the NJ turnpike (well still is).

Sad, but true...this water tower is one of the town's icons... sigh ... welcome to suburbia.

For inexplicable reasons... this water tower conjures up images of my childhood. Passing it every day on my way to elementary school. I was fascinated with the idea that someone could actually climb to the top of it.

The fond memories of life in Cherry Hill, riding bikes, running around the woods, playing at the park all help make this water tower beautiful for me. (even though it can not compare to the wood barrels in Philly)

I always imagine myself climbing to the top of it. Though, I'm not sure if I'm scared of heights.
