Verizon has a unique way to hide some cell towers in Casa Grande, and I don’t mean invisible ink.
The tower will… blend into the landscape, looking like a 24-foot saguaro cactus. Dubbed the “Stealth Cactus,” the Verizon cell tower “monocactus” will be joined by four live saguaros on the currently bare hill to match area landscapes.
This is very good news. I foresee some new towers in many interesting and happy shapes. For instance, in Philadelphia, they’ll be in the shape of a big bell.
And in San Francisco, they could hide them on the hills looking like a cable car.
How about for Buffalo they could hide them in a snow drift?
I like the idea of a giant crab in Baltimore; a big pot of beans in Boston; a 2000lb lobster in Maine, and a pig in Nebraska…. Hey! Now there’s an idea…. The world’s largest cell-phone-tower-pig! I’d stop by to see it.
Any other ideas?

LOL as a Bostonian I object to a bean pot. We are already way too hot this year, and having to keep those bean pots boiling would be just excruciating. But our state fruit is a cranberry. So how about a vertical cranberry bog fountain? The kids could play in them during the summer and in the winter they would be ice sculptures.

Well, I’m from Boston too, but it was just too easy. A Giant Beanpot! But I agree that when others talk about baked beans as a Boston thing, I find it embarrassing.

I’ve seen those phony Saguaros, and they look phony. Too tall, and the wrong color. The palm tree cell towers are far more authentic looking, and you really have to look twice to notice them. The palms and Saguaros are the only things they use around here the Phoenix area.
