If you're heading south from Ohio, this is a surefire sign that you aren't in the Union anymore. Originally a giant advertisement for the nearby Florence Mall, this landmark was accidentally created when developers realized that it was illegal to advertise the mall on the water tower. To save money they turned the M to a Y and the rest is history.

The Florence Y'alls, named after the water tower, are a professional baseball team based in Florence. They play in the West Division of the Frontier League, which is not directly affiliated with Major League Baseball but became an "MLB Partner League" when MLB reorganized the minors in 2021. From the 2004 season to the present, the Y'alls have played their home games at Thomas More Stadium, which is located near Interstates 71 and 75. The ballpark is also home to the baseball team of nearby Thomas More University, which bought the right to name the park in 2022.
