Question: Where in Texas can you see a water tower that looks like it’s about to topple over?

Answer: Along I-40 just east of Groom.

Truck stop owner Ralph Britten deliberately tilted the tower in the early 1980s to attract passing motorists to his business. Although his truck stop burned down in 1988, the “Britten U.S.A.” tower remains a distinctive roadside attraction.
