Have you seen this cell tower near you?

One of our prolific cell tower picture posters Yankees368 recently posted this picture of a pine tree camo'd cell tower. It appeared just for an instant in the Thursday, Feb 1st episode of "My Name is Earl" on NBC.

Some of you might have missed this in the gallery, so I thought I would post it here for wider attention. I am really curious to see if any of our cell tower hunters can track down the true location of this tower. I don't think it is a prop.

Here is the original post in the Cell Tower Gallery - My Name is Earl's Mono-Pine

It shouldn't be too hard for someone to find.

Thanks to Yankees368 for the nice HD screen capture.

Ha ha. I've seen a few different cell towers in the background on TV shows and news highlights. There was one monopole shown on Cops filmed in Riverside County, CA that I actually recognized and knew the exact location of.

JFB · 02-06-2007, 2:36 PM

This tower must be in California right? That building next to it has a strange facade.

Yankees368 · 02-06-2007, 3:46 PM

Yeah, I would assume that this is in cali, as they do most of their taping there.

, and I suspect the site is in the San Fernando Valley. It'll be interesting to see where this monopine is located.

I don't know how I missed this post but it's located in the G & A Auto Dismantlers scrap yard located at the NE corner of Balboa and Saticoy in Van Nuys.

I want to say Cingular (Or now TMobile) off the top of my head.

Yankees368 · 02-07-2007, 1:21 PM

Wait a minute, i'm not sure if we are correct about this. This is a "birds eye view" picture of that area, and there is no building back there that looks anything like our picture:

But in this image, you can clearly see a mono-pine:

and wait, it looks like in this picture, the back drop of those buildings is 100% fake around an existing structure! What's going on here..
Here is the completed structure:

Oh, and try to spot the other tower!

Here is the completed structure:

That's the same question a lot of area residents were asking when it was being built. It is a studio, but the drastic changes between the front panels make me wonder about it

That was an easy one, the back of the large strange looking building.

Is this where they do more then 1 TV show or was it a 1 time shot?
Or is the Studio building it for future use?

It's amazing to me that a camouflaged cell tower was shown in TV for just an instant and someone here screen-capped it and then someone else knew the exact location of the tower.

Is this a great online community, or what?

No. I can only laugh at these 'camo' towers.... a local town demanded a camo tower, and they got a redwood looking thing. Definitely not a native tree for NH, whatever it is supposed to be!! Somebody had a good laugh with that decision!!

aarathi · 12-14-2007, 1:32 AM

Oh it was really a good picture. Cell tower is back of the pine tree.

I'm sure it is upright, and it is just the camera angle. Did anyone happen to see the cell site in I am Legend?
