Yep. That’s a pumpkin water tower!
And how about this? Wouldn't you agree most office buildings are usually pretty boring? Couldn't really be classified as roadside oddities?

This Ohio tourist attraction is a wonderful trip back in time, back when canal boats were a common sight along the waterways.

In 2005 a local bakery made the World’s Largest pumpkin pie. It took 6 hours to bake! Pumpkin nummies at the Pumpkin Show include: pumpkin pies (of course) and…and…pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin pancakes…donuts, cookies, taffy, cake, milkshakes and burgers made out of pumpkin, too!
This is one neato Ohio tourist attraction. A lot of the cavern hasn’t even been explored yet, including an underground river and lake.
