I live in Greenville SC. Not far from the Peachoid. You have a beautiful Photo especially from an iPhone. So now you have given me a challenge. To go take a photo of it with a “real camera” 😋

Curious - I wondeper why these states with peaches for water towers, stole Georgia’s state symbol. Everyone should know GA is the Peach State.

According to Wikipedia, the shape of the peach was selected because the Gaffney economy was then dependent upon peach orchards, and because the people of the town wanted to make clear that South Carolina, and at one time, Cherokee county alone, where Gaffney is located, produced more peaches per year than the entire state of Georgia.

Interesting. I grew up in middle-eastern GA, and there were lots of peach trees in my area of the state.

I only remember “peach water” from my youth, while standing in the rain eating a succulent delight I swiped from Mr. Perry’s orchard.😎😎😎
