I must be wicked old
I remember the first tank as one of those huge dark things covered in steel trusses. Then the small white one came along (later painted by Kent).
Of course that's when we were riding woolly mammoths up Route 3.
The original mural was on the *other* tank
After they tore it down, Boston Gas (or was it Keyspan by then?) repainted it on the remaining tank.
Remember these - Baker Chocolate Silos
Baker's Chocolate
Here you go!

And, since nothing makes me happier than some self-promotion, here's a link to a story I wrote that involves those silos.

i remember the first tank
i remember the first tank also, it was of the type that collapsed inside of the frame as it emptied and rose back up when filled. they used to be common but i haven't seen one in a while now.
Gasometer...
... is the term for that sort of tank. I remember that one from my very early youth, too.

Ho Chi Minh tank?
I'm old enough to remember the Ho Chi Minh controversy.
Oh, for a second I thought you meant the other controversy
When they repainted the mural a few years back and made Ho's nose rounder.
Who drew the Ho's nose
Who drew the Ho's nose rounder
On that very shiny tank?
But if it started leaking
Everyone would say it stank (then they'd blow up!)
