A town official tried to justify eliminating the Tiger by saying Yorktown is more than just the school and it now has thriving businesses, strong neighborhoods, and a unified spirit. What thriving business… which wasn’t here when the tiger was painted cares about the tiger? Burger King? Were neighborhoods not strong when it was painted? What do they mean by strong neighborhoods? And unified spirit. Are you kidding me? Look how many people are in an uproar. No. You want to make the town look nice and grow, and that’s fine, it is beautiful, but that doesn’t mean defacing meaningful things to those who have lived here a long time. There wasn’t even a compromise to just add the town crest, it’s a huge water tower! As far as the future of Yorktown, the tower casts a shadow over the lawn of the elementary school. What do you think will have more meaning to those kids, their school mascot, or a big green Yorktown sign and a town stamp… like every other town? What’s more important, citizens of Yorktown, or outsiders so the town can grow? As if a Tiger on the water tower is stopping that. If it’s thriving so well as the town official puts it, or if others say it’s not a big deal, then you’ll have no problem leaving it alone. It’s completely unnecessary, it’s a degradation of the town, negligent on the decision makers, like nobody was going to notice. Really?

The Tiger on the tower welcomes us all home when away and supports our “belonging spirit” on a daily basis.

Sue supported: Preserve the Historic Yorktown Tiger Water TowerI love seeing Yorktown embracing new things, but, I always look at this tiger and have so many memories of growing up here come flooding back! I would love to see the tiger stay! There’s plenty of room for the other logos around him! 🐯 Let’s at least compromise.

Whether it be the original tiger or the new tiger !! The TIGER is YORKTOWN !!! A symbol of home , a beacon of protection over our community! Don’t replace it with a meaningless Letter that symbolizes nothing ! The tiger stays !
