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.

On the road from Atlanta to Gainesville, near our local reservoir Lake Lanier, there was a huge sign for a fishing tournament that promised “100 DOLLARS FOR THE BIGGEST BASS”.

The second “B” got removed and damn if it didn’t stay that way for months.
