Have you seen this cell tower near you?

Well, I spotted another tower in a TV show. This time, it was tonight's episode of House on FOX. Sorry for the low quality pics, I will try to update them after the show posts online. First to ID the site gets a cookie!

TelcomJunkie · 10-19-2009, 11:05 PM

I'll give some of the other tower hunts a chance... but I'm almost certain I found it. I'll share the cookie if someone else gets it!

TelcomJunkie · 10-19-2009, 11:06 PM

Oh and for a clue, it is Verizon Wireless.

Yankees368 · 10-19-2009, 11:08 PM

Competition over. Telcomjunkie gets the cookie! Man, that was fast!

Kalimotxo · 10-19-2009, 11:10 PM

Too funny. Congrats TelcomJunkie.

Yankees368 · 10-19-2009, 11:14 PM

Let's see if someone ELSE can get it. Here are some better shots from Google.

TelcomJunkie · 10-19-2009, 11:25 PM

Oh now you go and post decent pictures!

It isn't a challenge for you if I post high-res google street view pics. You needed a challange, and you nailed it. Think anyone else is up for it here?

Der84 · 10-20-2009, 1:41 AM

Yankee, I think I might have it.

Is the address: 2626 Lacy St. Los Angeles Ca?

woah! how did you do that? I can understand telcom doing that magic, but how did YOU do that? lol

Der84 · 10-20-2009, 1:54 AM

Good old American Tower. So I don't know if I deserve too much credit...ha ha.

The design of the tower is quite similar to a lot of the other Verizon towers I've noticed in California, and you mentioned it was on House. So I kind of thought, hmm......maybe L.A? So I did a bit of searching around (nothing else to do at 1am here..ha ha). I passed by it a couple of times thinking it looked like it. But I wasn't certain until I compared it to the google street view.

Very, very well done.

Der84 · 10-20-2009, 2:02 AM

Thanks Yankee, that was fun.

Telecom, thanks, but I think we both deserve an equal half.....ha ha.

Yankees368 · 10-20-2009, 2:07 AM

This was fun. Before I was even able to grab a downloaded copy of the show, we were able to find it and grab it on google street view.

I will be looking out for another site!

TelcomJunkie · 10-20-2009, 2:09 AM

Now find the Nextel site and the Sprint site, both are within a half mile!

If only I could remember the episode of CSI Miami, I remember seeing a monopole somewhere on there. I'll have to figure it out some how.

Der84 · 10-20-2009, 12:40 PM

Well I confirmed it with Telcom last night through PM after I was able to locate the two sites.

I will say, one is a little harder to see then the other one.

Yankees368 · 10-20-2009, 1:00 PM

I found the nextel site yesterday, but I still have not found the Sprint site.

Der84 · 10-20-2009, 1:06 PM

Yeah, the Sprint one is a little tougher to find. It's not as easy to see on street view.

larry · 10-25-2009, 7:53 PM

The Sprint site is at 2662 Lacy Street, Los Angeles, CA. I've passed by it before a few years back. I believe it is a monopole.

Der84 · 10-26-2009, 12:39 AM

Yep, it is a monopole. Its further back in from the road and looks like it's in a small yard of a business.
