Florence is well known in surrounding cities for a [[water tower]] visible from [[Interstate 71|I-71]]/[[Interstate 75 in Kentucky|I-75]] that reads "[[Florence Y'all Water Tower|Florence Y'all]]". Built in 1974, the tower originally advertised the up-and-coming [[Florence Mall (Kentucky)|Florence Mall]], as part of an agreement with the mall developers who donated the land for the tower. But because the mall was not built yet, the tower violated highway regulations, and the city was forced to change it within a short deadline. Rather than repaint the entire tower, they simply painted over the two vertical lines of the "M" to create a "Y". The intent was to change it back when the mall was built, but the local residents liked the tower's new proclamation, so the city decided to leave it as it was.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Knef |first1=Sam |title=From Florence Mall to Florence Y'all: How it happened |url=https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisville/news/2022/01/11/florence-yall-water-tower |access-date=June 5, 2024 |publisher=Spectrum News 1 |date=January 14, 2022 |language=en}}</ref>
