The water tower must have had the Quasar logo painted over a long time ago. When Matsushita bought out the Motorola consumer products division, they painted "Quasar" two or three times around the water tower - but the painters got the wrong orientation, and from the HQ building it looked like
"sar Qua". They repainted it in a couple of days, just in time for the press party.

Dear Old TV Nut.. who are you? well, don't reveal your identity. Maybe a few clues? If you worked in the "plant" you had a hard work day. I heard a lot about the supervisors on the line. ...

I'd like to know why the building was vacant for so long! (at least 15 years).
Anyone?
