“That’s no moon…”

“It’s a space station.. I mean a Moon Tower”
-Obi Wan Kenobi

As cool and unique as the Moon Towers of Austin are, their original purpose for being built is not so cool. A string of murders was happening around the city, mainly the East Side and Downtown. The Moon Towers were constructed to light up the dark city streets and help deter a serial killer from serial killing.

Location: 1 of 15 remaining Moon Towers – Austin, TX
