Harpersville, AL
US 280 southeast of Birmingham

Fair warning to all motorists: Harpersville is no place to speed! Harpersville and Childersburg, the next major town to the south on US 280, are patrolled constantly. And you must watch the signs: the speed limit changes as you progress through each town. If you're planning to tank-up, hold off until Childersburg: something about the locations of Childersburg and Montevallo to the west result in local gas wars often times.

Below are several photos of the water tower between US 280 and J.W. Donahoo Municipal Park.
