Texas Route 66 - Groom

GROOM, TEXAS. The famous Britten water tower continues to lean out over the Texas Panhandle after all these years, despite the sign showing which way is up. Classic 66, the tower was purposely tilted by Ralph Britten to attract attention to his nearby truck stop. (Every 66 business owner looks for some kind of angle.) The water tower remains, though the truck stop is gone, victim of a fire some years ago. Seems they never thought to actually put water in that tower.
