Britten Leaning Water TowerExit 114, I-40, Groom, TXPhone:
OK, people see water towers every day and don't pay much attention to them, unless they look like they are about to fall over. And thus was born the Britten Leaning Water Tower! The sign for the Leaning Tower Truck Stop didn't include the word "leaning" but it did feature a miniature leaning tower above the word TOWER. You had to interpret the visual image to mean "leaning". It was known as the Leaning Tower Truck Stop until it burned to the ground in 1987. To emphasize the leaning part of the name, the rear tower legs don't even touch the ground.
