A remnant and a memorial to times past, this landmark rises high in a park in the Highland Park neighborhood. Closed to the public for most of the year, it is opened in July each year during the Highland Arts and Crafts Fair. Youngsters and folks heartier than I climb the many steps for a breathtaking view of the surrounding area.

I've driven by this tower so many times, I've never been this close to it in my lifetime. I never knew it was only open in July.
ReplyDeleteSteve, Come to Highland Park during the Festival and you, too, can climb it! My husband grew up in the neighborhood and used to play in it. Ah, those were the days!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dramatic shot!
