It's true! Minnesota's most loved water tower has it's own Reddit page!

First of all, yes, I know, it's a Reddit subreddit, but for the people that don't know reddit, that doesn't mean much. Second of all, on Reddit, a page/group is called a subreddit. Now we're all caught up, I can say, three - The Ear of Corn Water Tower, in Rochester, Minnesota, but on Olmsted County land, has it's own subreddit?

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.

The Corn Cob Water tower is not being torn down, by the way, it's just being refurbished. In another post on the new subreddit, the water tower is shown "not...how they are, but for how we envision them" and I'm here for it.

And finally, people actually caught painting the Ear of Corn like an Ear of Corn!
