Steve’s take
A one-million-gallon water tower painted to look like a peach, complete with a hand-painted leaf. Built in 1981 to push back at Georgia's 'Peach State' nickname (South Carolina actually grows more peaches). Visible for miles on I-85 between Charlotte and Atlanta, and required viewing for House of Cards fans (Frank Underwood references it in the pilot). Pull-off is on the frontage road at Exit 92 if you want a closer look. Five-minute stop.
