Britten, USA, Route 66

If you've ever driven across Interstate 40 in Texas, you will probably recognize this leaning tower. No, it isn't about to fall over. It was moved to this location by Ralph Britten as a roadside attraction for his truck stop. He installed it at this angle on purpose to bring in customers. It worked well and brought in a lot of curious people. The business burned down in the 80's and now the City of Groom, TX maintains the tower. Another interesting story on Route 66.
