Wauwatosa Water Tower

My review that was posted here has been moved to the proper listing. There is no way on God’s Green Earth that one of the Wauwatosa elevated water tanks is located in West Allis. I don’t know how the proper address was ever changed to this dumb address, so someone created a new listing for the old address. Thanks to whoever did that!
To see my original review, please visit the Wauwatosa Water Tower listing for the location on Burleigh Street. Thanks!

Um. Don’t know who changed the address but the Wauwatosa water tower definitely did not move to 84^th street in west allis!!!

This is so random to have a listing for the Wauwatosa Water Tower. I’ve never even noticed it until just this past weekend and was confused.
I asked my sister from ‘Tosa if there was some museum or special historical spot or something here? She didn’t think so and so we decided to roll past it while out & about running errands. As Eileen said, this is just a drive by check in spot for people to proclaim, Woohoo! Here I am in the great city of Wauwatosa!

If there ever was an example to illustrate the word blasé, this would be it. This is also pretty much a «drive by» check in for almost everyone who checks in here I would say. You can’t tell me anyone drives to this water tower, parks, and stares up at it with enjoyment. I check in to this place, I assume as many others, as I am stuck in traffic passing by during rush hour on a day to day basis. If I did not check in, I was moving fast enough there was no time, or my cell’s GPS couldn’t recognize where I am (which it often does to my frustration as a regular Unilocaler). This, though definitely UFO-​like in form, is very boring in color and structure. I’ve seen very beautiful and interesting water towers. This is not one of them. It is just large and because of that, I can recognize and agree that it is a definite landmark. I’m not arguing that. It could just be more interesting. For being simply an emergency water reserve, it could be a more creative object.

It some of the best water in the World

*** Ok this review is the original location thx to some genius key stroker the location was switched. I’m refusing to do a cut and paste for this old review. We tried to fix it but. Unilocal doesn’t care unless someone calls the Water tower to verify the correction. Um… Hello this is a landmark and no telephones are at this business location. Get a effing clue.
This water tower is a landmark like a piece of art. Our family lived 40 miles north and enjoyed shopping at Mayfair mall. A land mark to look out for either the Hampton exit to the north or North ave on the south side. When we were kids we use to call it a spaceship. I guess other families did too. It was freshly painted 4 years ago. It’s very shiny and I’m guessing it’s easier to keep clean.
Addition it’s almost impossible to not catch a red light either on the south bound hwy 45 ramp or going underneath the over pass. So I usually get stopped twice looking for the light to cycle. So this is definitely one of the safest drive by checkins if there is such an animal.
