🌎Get ready for #HamOnt's entry into the #TVORoadsideShowdown: the big globe at the wastewater plant. Maybe it’s not what you’d immediately think of as a roadside attraction, but Mr. Steve Paikin himself supports it, so hear me out. [1/7] 
The globe (30 metres tall and 24 metres in diameter) is really a steel gas tank built in 1970. Located on the grounds of the Woodward wastewater plant, it’s visible to anyone walking along the Waterfront Trail and to the 130,000 drivers who pass it on the QEW each day. [2/7]
As I've reported previously (tvo.org/article/ontari…), the tank is part of a cogeneration unit turning methane from wastewater sludge into electricity. It's a bit of a mystery why the tank was painted to look like Earth. [3/7]
