Where is It?
Linden’s 1934 water tower was in the news some months ago for getting colored lights and a new paint job. But in 1990, the tower also made the news as a foil to show off Goodyear’s blimp as it made a surprise appearance high up in the skies on a Saturday morning during the Wildflower Trails of Texas celebration. This photo appeared in the Cass County Sun newspaper May 2, 1990. Today, it’s a pleasant way to start off the new year. Look up, don’t be surprised at what you see. Just go to the community festival and have a good time. Oh, by the way, the Goodyear airship is still in use. This past year the Goodrich Tire & Rubber Company celebrated the blimp’s 100th anniversary. A secret of this historic picture is that the blip was especially invited and came on purpose to celebrate the community’s Wild Flower Trails Festival.
