In 1952 the ConocoPhillips refinery started a tradition of painting one of it's 3-million gallon storage tanks into a giant jack o'lantern. Wilmington, CA...that's a bit south of LA. I took the virtual drive-by on Google Maps, but it wasn't fully painted in the picture (though it is orange). Take a peek here.
Just to round it out, here's an old picture from the LIFE magazine archives. You might notice they are painting on a different portion of it (the stairs are different), but other than that it looks as though this 60+ year tradition hasn't changed much. Admirable! Let's all drive down to Wilmington and patronize their shops (the positive kind of patronize)!
