Michigan Smiley Face Water Towers
Flushing
Roadside America says this water tower in the Flint area suburb of Flushing has been nicknamed Kickboy Face. Perhaps a deep punk reference, as 'Kickboy Face' is the name of a founder of Punk Magazine back in the late 1970s.
A Flushing neighbor, however, says that he'd never heard the Kickboy Face nickname - but it's a great one.
Fruitport
This smiley face tower can be seen on Airline Highway just south of the I-96 exit.
Millington
In Michigan's Thumb, this water tower is unique due to the use of eyebrows
West Branch
The West Branch water tower is a source of particular pride in its community as shown in this documentary.
