Savannah, Georgia - World Globe Gas Storage Tank Now this is pretty neat! Not only is this thing an accurate rendition of Mother Earth, but the mail box for this address is the MOON! Go during the day as it is not lit at night. [Cris Swanlund, 11/29/2007]
Savannah, Georgia - World Globe Gas Storage Tank Big globe -- recently repainted for the new Millennium. It was originally used as a storage tank for the local gas company. In 1956, R.E.Turner, Jr. (Cable mogul Ted Turner's father) talked the company into painting it like a globe. The repaint is a little different -- it is now painted as the earth is seen from space. It even has a hurricane cloud formation heading straight towards Savannah. [Trevon Watson, 01/04/1999][RA: John Strickler points out that "This globe can be seen briefly in the Sandra Bullock/Ben Affleck movie 'Forces of Nature.'" Tipster Dave Schneider reports "when they painted the hurricane [Floyd] heading toward Savannah, they goofed up and had it rotating clockwise! It was a big joke in town until it was re-painted correctly." Photo by Peter ter Haar added April 2005.]
