Did you get any photos of it?

Yes, there are two left in the town of Herrin, Illinois. They are not in use and have been sitting dormant for quite some time now.

What ended up happening to the one in Charlotte?

Yeah... You right on that. It looks so similar though.

How?

Back in the days of civil defense, no expense was spared. If a siren needed to be on-top of a 50 story building to achieve optimal sound coverage, you bet your arse it was going on that building.

You're in my town! I had no idea you came through here. This siren actually just got back online. It had blower issues and they were fixed over the summer. During the fix, someone must've cut the rotator off. This one, like the other old sirens that were replaced and are rotting in various places ar...
