Construction in Hollywood/235 - what's being built around that chimney(?)

[KMQZ]

Hey folks - been driving back and forth through Hollywood for a few months now and a little while ago a metal tipi popped up. Fast forward to a few weeks back and there's cranes out, and now there's a whole tall chimney on top of the thing. I asked at Dean's, but they didn't seem to know what's being constructed there either.

What's a tipi?

It's a pointy wigwam, I believe (teepee?)

Also, disregard; go figure I find the (likely) answer in another thread (search failed me); Water tower

I was told it's a water tower.

Yep, water tower....

Water tower, seems like an odd place to put one. So close to a main road.

At first I thought it was goning to be where the new Hollywood rescue squad was gonna be, and it was a communications tower, but after seeing the curved piecs on site today, I gotta say I think it's a water tower.

Risk level? I would put that at pretty low. That one in Myrtle Point has been standing how long with no maint whatsoever?

Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad acquired the property just south of the water tower site, where the barn burned down a couple of years ago.

In Ocean City, they are building an identical water tower where the 50 bridge comes into town, and are painting it like a beach ball..since well you are at the beach.

Since the new one in Hollywood is right at the entrance to the Hollywood bar corridor, maybe they should paint it like a giant 10 oz Bud?

Irony perhaps?

Irony perhaps?

It would be if it were the fire department.

I drove past it today. I'm surprised no one sees it for what it really is.

It's not a water tower.
It has nothing to so with the fire or rescue squads.

It's a launch pad for the Jupiter 3.
