Day 60, and still not the Eiffel Tower


No towers.  Towers are off.

But in lieu of that here's a flyer that refers to a well known tower.  The tower that was based on the design of the world's largest tower, which as we know is in Blackpool.


This tower was the Monttessuy Tower.  Named after the diplomat that did so much to liberate a variety of towers from the various countries he served in.  He smuggled back these towers piecemeal in his diplomatic bag.  They were briefly reassembled as one medium tower built to our west coast resort design.

Due to an administrative oversight this tower was not laid on firm foundations and it very soon collapsed taking with it both the life of Monttessuy and a large number of poodles.



There appears to be a bottomless pit of stuff here that isn't the stuff I am looking for.  That's not a Star Wars reference.

I'll find another tower at some point.
