What was likely intended as a prank, is not amusing officials on the Iron Range. Police in Virginia say someone climbed up on the city water tower and changed the ‘n’ on ‘Queen City’ to an ‘r.’
The vandalism was discovered Monday morning.
City officials say the vandalism took some effort, as the entire area is surrounded by barbed wired.
The incident is being treating as a criminal investigation, and the water tower was re-painted a few hours after the discovery.

Can they prove that Iron Range isn’t an unusual or odd city?

I thought Cincinnati was the “Queen City”.... still don’t know what that title means and I have lived here 7 years.

When I was but a babe a local drive-in movie was showing the movie “Splendor in the Grass”. Some scamps climbed up on the theater’s outdoor marquee and removed the “GR”.

I imagine this has been done MANY times before on the weekend following/preceeding graduation. Probably the first time anyone has thought of pressing charges.

Jackson Michigan is the Rose city which makes no sense to me. We have a rose parade that has next to nothing to do with roses.
Its petunia town in my book because they plant the fairground wit petunias every summer.
