The impossible water tower beauty standards

[@kendragaylord]

I rank a bunch of water towers (including the ones in Ypsilanti + Florence) on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/kendragaylord

[@circleinforthecube5170]

the modern spheroid water towers looks as good as the old ones imo, they have some sort of futuristic frutiger aero vibe to them and act as canvases for the entire town, which in my opinion has its own charm, also those bare-iron towers look cool aswell, also having grown up near ypsilanti i wouldn't call that thing better looking than any modern tower and its frustrating to hear the more expressive and nicer modern towers referred to as "kitsch", it doesen't feel very artistically expressive if we designed everything to look like the same old timey building, hell some of the more "kitschy" towers blast some old 1800s towers like that one in ypsilanti out of the water tower, and they also dont look like whatever ypsilanti looks like that i cant say on youtube

[@BGPhilbin]

Yay! I came down to the comments to mention my home town of Ypsilanti, MI! I was raised there & went to college there (born in California and live there now, as well). However, while we always internally joked about our locally famous water tower, it wasn't until the Internet came along and dubbed it the "world's most phallic building" that it became world famous. It's seriously a weird-looking building, but it has a place in the hearts of millions now. Glad you noticed it!

This is why I love KZbin niches so much. Where else am I going to get this quality content?!

[@BadgerOfTheSea]

It seems (to me at least) that the the next age of the Education side of KZbin (EduTube) is specialty niches. We have Kendra talking about architecture, Oceanliner Designs talking about ship building, Angela Collier talking about physics, Tibees talking about Maths, Miniminuteman talking about archeology etc etc etc. The age of 5 hour long video essays from a layman is coming to an end and the age of short but accurate information from passionate people who actually work in that field is on the rise.

I got this video from Tom Scott, a british person, and when I clicked on it I went "Oh, water towers, I have one near me, but it's probably not going to be featured because it's not that famous." Lo and behold that is the ONE water tower featured on location. Very cool!

[@qweeqweeq]

Hello from the "Florence Y'all" water tower in Florence, KY (Ok I'm neither from nor live there but it's close enough). It originally said "Florence Mall" as it's by the mall... in Florence, but had to be changed due to laws about advertising on public utilities. A little white-out and marker later and now we have Florence, Y'all!

[@battlebugplays]

thats amazing!!

[@highnoon9333]

There's also an independent baseball team called the Florence Y'alls

[@marythompson9952]

I came here to mention that!

[@SamRK-1000]

So the mall closed and they changed it? As a mall enthusiast that kinda sucks. But, Florence Y’all is much cooler anyways.

[@kirkkerman]

[@Rederister]

I work at a retirement home in upstate South Carolina and a 96-year old resident recalled that Peachoid was apparently sitting on the ground for years because they couldn't finish it for whatever reason

[@Shako_Lamb]

I recently studied architecture history in grad school, and one of the most interesting things I learned was about the role of design in advertising and public relations. Why did everything look so fancy and beautiful in the past? To build public support for things like water towers. Unfortunately, they don't have to be beautiful anymore because the idea of a water tower is no longer novel. Or with fancy office buildings and department stores like those of Woolworth, Wrigley, Macy's, etc - that's advertising money, the same kind of money that goes into Super Bowl ads these days.

[@literarynick]

You're kind of filling an emotional void that was left by Tom Scott's departure from KZbin. Can you maybe start traveling all over the world to bring cool and bizarre factoids' to me? I mean, uh, us. Now that I think about it, Tom had a full crew that he would bring with him for his travel videos. I imagine that would have been a pretty swanky job. If you get to that point, Kendra, I want you to remember me and this comment. I want a swanky travel job, Kendra. I have a lot riding on your success, here. Don't let me down.

I grew up in Louisville, KY and we have a very fancy (it has multiple greek-looking statues), old, and now unused water tower that you can tour inside and people use for weddings. This is directly next to a new, less pretty but practical water tower that supplies very nice water through the city. Highly recommend checking them out!

I lived 2 miles from that Dixie Water Cup water tower for over a decade and never even knew it was there. I somehow feel like I missed out! We now live a couple of towns over from the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle water tower and call it out just about every time we drive by it. It’s right next to a highway and the way it’s placed among the landscape, it looks quite majestic in it’s own silly way. Great video as always!

[@AndyGneiss]

That water tower in the park which is visit-able makes me wonder what other important infrastructure could be designed to be visited. I think it would be neat to have information signs all over our infrastructure. Such a combo would make walking around town a lot more interesting, at least for people with such interests, but I also hope it would help develop an awareness of how the world works in people, both young and grown. - thoughts from a civil engineer Thanks for the great video!

As someone from outside North America... water towers are inescapably one of those "quintessentially American" things in my mind, or at least the big metal ones you see super commonly in TV shows or films set in the US, like the Warner Bros studio one. You just... don't really see them here (I'm in the UK), where water towers do exist they _generally_ tend to belong to the "desperately trying to pretend it's not just a water tower" school of water tower design. If I had to guess, I'd say the reason is probably that the UK tends to prefer building reservoirs up in hills for supplying water and pressure? Then again I'm from Bristol, which is like... 80% hills by volume, so it's not exactly difficult to find a place to put a reservoir that's also conveniently close to your population centres, or convenient high-up places to put smaller reservoir pools, which act like water towers you barely even have to build. (although it's probably worth mentioning that there _is_ a water tower in Bristol, although I had no idea it was one for a long time, as it doesn't look anything like the stereotypical American ones. Weirdly, its biggest claim to fame might be having featured as "Animutation Incorporated" in the old animutation video "French Erotic Film or Colin Mochrie versus Jesus H. Christ" by Andrew Kepple, which is something I didn't realise until I was going past it one day and was like "wait a minute.... that looks familiar?". The early internet of pre-youtube flash animations was a _weird_ place, honestly) Having said all that, who knows; maybe the lack of visible water towers is just down to architectural sensibilities over here just place greater emphasis on hiding water infrastructure? Or maybe it's that we don't really have any great vast expanses of open flat plains like the US does, so the need for water towers (see above, convenient hills etc.) isn't really there.

[@algebraizt]

I'm originally from Scotland which has like 8 water towers. There's so many in the USA that I can't get an answer out of google about how many there are! They've always had a strange beauty to me. Imagine growing up somewhere where you've never seen a bridge and then moving to a very bridgey city like Hamburg or Berlin. It's kinda like that.

Something about a 3-D round object covered in squares really tripped me out when I was a kid. Thank you

[@AllycatlovesAG]

I'm from Vancouver, and we do not have a water tower (I just googled where ours is and I believe it is in a suburb), but anytime I go on a road trip or in popular media, I see water towers. I never fully understood why they all looked the same, or their purpose, so this video was very interesting. The water tower in the suburb is made of cement and also looks like some type of tower, but it is also in the water, so not your typical one.

Thank you for this video! Here in California we have tankhouses - small, one building water tanks encased in buildings meant for a single farm or ranch building or home starting in the mid-to late 1800's. They're about 2-3 stories tall and look like strange wooden towers next to houses. Often they had a windmill attached to them to pump groundwater but sometimes it stood nearby and was connected by pipes.

Georgia historically was known for pitch trees (pine trees) for shipbuilding but it got misheard/misconstrued into peach trees and then we had to start trying to grow a lot of peaches to live up to everyone else's expectations even though we're not actually great for them and actually regardless of who grows the most, northern Colorado's peaches are the tastiest

[@stormythelowcountrykitty7147]

Georgia is known as the Peach State because peaches are important to its agriculture economy. The state's nickname comes from its history with peaches, which began in 1571 when Franciscan monks introduced the fruit to Georgia's coast. The peaches thrived in Georgia's soil and became known for their superior taste and appearance.

And even if the water towers themselves are no longer used for their original purpose their structure can be used for cell phone antennas; I guess that means they go from a publicly funded purpose to a private one, but it can still be seen to serve the public in a way.
