Late last winter and early spring, the Town of Ocean City’s new water tower at 1stStreet and St. Louis Avenue steadily rose from the ground, at different times appearing as a dull, gray beacon lurking over the downtown landscape, but over the last week or so, it has begun to take shape with its somewhat unique “beach ball” paint scheme welcoming visitors along one of the main entrances to the resort.
Last year, the Mayor and Council approved the beach ball design after learning it would cost just about $10,000 more than the traditional pale blue scheme seen on most of the resort’s water towers.

The town still has the "Home of the Dew Tour that they painted just before the Dew Tour packed their bags and left. What the heck, it's just tax revenue they collect from the Condo owners who have no say in the government.
I love the big sign at the entrance to OC (on a building on the left just over the Route 50 bridge) that says "Leave Only Your Footprints".
In parenthesis it should also say, "And your cash".

Lol very clever and so so true!
This looks Gay.
Actually. it looks pretty cool.
I had my doubts about it, but as I've watched it take shape I've realized that this will very quickly become the icon of Ocean City.
Generations of kids will now be coming into town on vacation with their families and get excited when the "beach ball" first appears on the horizon, just as we did as kids when we couldn't wait to get that first glimpse of the ocean as we drove over the 50 bridge.
My only regret is the new hotel project just may block the view of the tower.
