The Wall
Jan 23, 2019 11:24:20 #
This was my attempt to de-rail the political rant that was posted recently about the wall. My effort did not accomplish squat, so I'm posting it here.
Here's my wall picture that was taken in Brenham, Texas, which is home to Blue Bell Creameries. This wall is adjacent to a historic cistern that was built in the center of town in the late 1800s to store water for use in fighting fires. After the Civil War the Union army occupied Brenham, harassed the locals and set fire to the city, which prompted the construction of this cistern.

Good work on the photo, Jason. I'm familiar with the Ice Cream tie, but knew little about the cistern. Thanks for the additional information.

Thank you UTMike. Brenham is 75 miles northeast of Houston.
Ha, you're right!
I apologize for the confusion.

You can definitely see bullet holes in that wall after all these years. Nice catch
