The world is an amazing place. Here's their first post.

The Ear of Corn Water Tower, or Corn on the Cob Water Tower, or Corn Cob Water Tower, or whatever you feel like calling it, is easily one of the most talked about Rochester Landmarks. Certainly almost everyone from age 6 to 99 has an opinion on it, many of them afraid it'll be torn down.
