Verizon gets approval for fourth cell tower on Northway
Friday, May 9, 2008
The Associated Press

LAKE PLACID — Verizon Wireless has permission to build a fourth cell-phone tower along the Adirondack Northway as part of its plan to fill a service gap along remote stretches of the upstate New York interstate.

The Adirondack Park Agency says Verizon can build the 94-foot tower — which will be disguised to look like a pine tree — at Schroon Falls, about 100 miles north of Albany. That’s on the southern edge of a 47-mile so-called “dark zone” on the Northway.

Verizon started adding towers to the Northway after a Brooklyn man crashed and froze to death in January 2007, unable to call for help.

The death prompted a public outcry, and state officials, environmentalists and the New York-based phone company forged an agreement to add towers that blend into the landscape.

They have the frankenpine towers along rt 287 Ramapo, between NYS Thruway and I95 Jersey Turnpike and they look pretty much like a big pine tree.

Get outta here! You're kidding right? This isn't what it really looks like, or does it?

That's one type of frankenpine and there are a couple of other varieties, that is one of the better looking ones.

That is WAY too funny....and yes I have seen them and found them to be disquieting.......or just plain creepy in an Edward Scissorhands sort of way.....or maybe more like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree(oops, I'm sorry is that not PC?)

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
