The ALICO building in downtown Waco is the tallest structure to survive the F5 tornado of 1953. Seeing as no one bothered to rebuild after the tornado, the tower-like building rises above the plain and is seen virtually everywhere in Waco. You can be walking through campus, look up and instead of seeing the eerie green light of Pat Neff Hall, you see the ALICO tower a few blocks away. It really reminds us of the EYE in the Lord of the Rings movies, situated at the top of a tower and sees all. What is more moving is the fact that on top of the ALICO building is a "sky cam" which the local news uses to show the weather (which is, by the way, always hot and dry.) This sky cam can zoom in on minute details, such as car license plates and the such. So there is an all seeing eye at the top of the ALICO building, much like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Mordor.
you guys are funny!

ReplyDeleteThat picture is pretty scary. Seriously... I'd stay away from it at all costs. No wonder you guys are not liking it there, its demon possesed!
