Have you seen it? The water tower with the words "Florence Ya'll" written in bright red paint. Well, here is the quick story. The tower was originally painted with the words "Florence Mall" in giant letters (in 1974, however, the mall did not open until 1976), but legal questions were raised. Evidently, the signage was in violation of a state law restricting how tall a sign promoting a business could be. Therefore, a change was mandated. The solution was changing the "M" to a "Y" with an apostrophe.
What Colleen Said: Well, isn't that just cute.
What Karen Said: Yeah, yeah - its FLORENCE!
