Roadside America says that 2 miles from Bondurant's Pharmacy is a Dixie Cup water tower. The Dixie Cup company located in Lexington in 1958 and built it. The plant is now owned by Georgia-Pacific Corporation who had plans to tear it down, but the city fortunately won't allow them to do so.
It is off Mercer Road between Greendale and Georgetown Road and can be seen from Route 4. I see that the company also had a similar water tower at its Easton, Pa., plant back in the 1920s.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
