Maybe it's my son's love of water towers or maybe it's because I enjoy a little small-scale spectacle every now and then, but if you're free this morning, I suggest you head over to The North End demolition site at the intersection of North Water and East Pleasant Streets at 9:30.

A crew will begin the first phase of moving the historic 44,000-pound Pfister & Vogel water tower to its permanent site in the mixed-use residential project, developed by the Mandel Group. In this step, the tower will be raised and secured to beams that will allow it to be transported.

In step two, slated to start around 11 a.m., the tower will actually be moved across the site and through the intersection to its new home on the northwest corner of Water and Pleasant, where it will anchor what will be one of the public squares in The North End project.
