Dressing up cell towers

By Rain Noe - July 13, 2007

They've been hidden in church steeples and disguised as trees. Now the city of Oceanside outside San Diego is trying to turn a 65-foot cellular-relay tower, seen by 350,000 motorists daily, into a "work of art." The city's Arts Commission is hoping for approval to cover the tower in a "netlike swirl of material around the pole [with] dozens of foam seabirds in and around the netting." Wish we had pictures of the actual design to show you, but until the Oceanside Planning Commission says yes, we've got nada.
