KG0639 Osborne East Municipal Tank - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Blasterz love all the old tanks with the town names painted on them :) In 2010 Mama Blaster tried to secure a replacement for the old-style Garland TX Municipal tank that was removed in 1969, but was shot down by the City Manager and Water Utility Director. The tank would have been free, but those two would not have taken it at any price.

Blasterz think these old tanks lend charm to downtowns. We are glad Osborne has kept BOTH of theirs :)
