The water tower is coming down today.  Reports are the Swedish American Museum and the Alderman are looking into restoring or replacing the icon but it's too soon to tell what the options will be.

 Jillian and I have lived fairly close to the Andersonville North Clark Street "downtown" and water tower for the better part of the last 12 years.  We realize these recognizable structures are important to the identity and quality of life our neighborhoods and hope a campaign for a restored tower becomes reality.
