Pardon my ignorance.....but what are the Palm-like towers that are all around the county? for instance, there is one at the intersection of Hwy 98 and Cole Rd Confused

they look nice, though.

These faux palms definitely look better than metal structures. I wonder though if any birds who may have nests on them will be susceptible to cancer. Any studies on this?

There are also faux cactus antennas.

They are actually Nextel antennas. Nextel is trying to boost their signal close to the border, so that Calexican's wont roam so much. They've installed a couple of those, one near me is on Hwy98 and Ferrell Rd. I rolled up one day and asked the crew while they were putting the place together. I was curious, I also thought they were for the Dept. of Homeland Sec.
What I really cant wait for is EVDO from Sprint. As a matter of fact, over the past few months, my phone has been flashing the EVDO icon every once in a while, maybe it's comming sooner than I thought. We'll have to wait and see.
