I've lived in Dubuque, IA (there's a picture of our shot tower in the article) my entire life, and assumed that everyone knew what these were. It's a iconic symbol in our city's history. I guess I took them for granted.
- Killswitch 13y agoI currently live in the Dubuque IA area, and felt the same way (I moved here in 2002 from Wisconsin)
- objclxt 13y agoMe too, I lived in Bristol (also in the article, and where the original inventor lived). Sadly the shot tower has since shut down and been converted to a penthouse (I think - the article says offices, but I'm 99% sure the tower itself became an apartment).
- dajohnson89 13y agoIs the factory at all noisy? I'd imagine dropping massive lead spheres could cause a ruckus.
- lucasdailey 13y agoSame. I stopped by the one in Wisconsin (on canoe trips) frequently as a kid. I thought they were common.
