The "waterball" is a water tower that is located very close to the downtown square and other nearby attractions. It was built in the early 1900s and used to be painted over with advertisements, but now it is all clean and shiny metal. Shops nearby sell souvenirs of it, so it has become an interesting emblem of the city. The water tower is lit up with colored lights at night, so wait until then to take a picture!
