That thing looks weird and not natural for Baton Rouge.

An example pic:


How long has that been up, i'm late to the game,never knew those were a thing.

Cellphone towers disguised as trees

Until you pointed that out, I was going to put up a deer stand there this fall.

I saw it for the first time this past weekend and thought the same thing. We've had a thread on this already, no?

As long as it boosts my cell services during football season IDGAF. Paint the thing pink, as long as it works just be grateful.

There is a story in the advocate today about the micro towers AT@T are putting up in BR. They look like shite.

These micro cells don't have to go before the P&Z commission because they are being installed on existing equipment and poles for the most part. At&T is giving the city $250 per install.

quote:

Metro Councilman Matt Watson called the city-parish's handling of AT&T's coverage a "fiasco." He blamed his Metro Council colleagues for being too permissive when laying out the city-parish's lease agreements.


quote:

The Metro Council last year set a $250 annual lease fee, though there was some dispute whether the amount was high enough. The city-parish should revisit that arrangement every few years to evaluate whether each site is worth more money, Odom said.

They need a Cypress model for Louisiana instead of that alpine looking thing.

I like it, they have one off of corporate as well, that might be a little better. The one off of corporate has been there for years. At least nowadays they are making some sort of effort to conceal.

There’s been one behind Citiplace theater for a decade. It doesn’t have that many branches though.
