Gaffney, South Carolina - Peachoid - A Different Viewpoint This photo was taken on Thursday, April 11, 2002, (obviously) of the Gaffney, South Carolina peach/water tower. A branch of the Fatz Caf� restaurant chain has been built right in its
shadow. Personally I�m torn between disappointment that the pristine view of the
peach has been disrupted, and the thrill of eating really good garlic bread
while I look at it. [Nate Etheridge, 04/21/2002]
Gaffney, South Carolina - The Peachoid - A new view I did get a good picture of the Peachoid's 'butt'. What I
didn't realize is the tank is actually shaped like a butt, it's not just an
illusion using paint and shadows. Gaffney is serious about their Peachoid!!
The peachoid was also the 1981 Steel Tank of the Year. Oh ... and the area around and just below the Peachoid is a park where you can sit and ponder the peachoid. [Greg Brown, 11/05/2000]
