dr_tectonicSo I was gonna write up a rant about the Savery Savory Mushrooms water tower on Federal Blvd:
I was gonna rant about how the name is all wrong because "saver-y" is a lousy pun, and anyway it should be ordered "savory savery", and it's such a missed opportunity when they could have done "so very savory" instead, which has much better rhythm, and I was looking for a picture of it and I found the city's webpage about it and suddenly discovered that it's named for the guy who built the farm.
Mr. Charles William Savery.
Dammit! It's not lousy marketing at all, it's just a guy's name!
Which makes it a perfectly reasonable name.
Which totally torpedoes my rant. Harrumph.
