Camouflaged cell towers hide in little buildings, behind crosses and in saguaro cacti

STRANGE C-470 BUILDINGS: On the southwest side of Denver, along the 470 loop, between the 11 and 12 mile markers, on the southwest side of the road, there are four small buildings. They are two-storied, square, and almost identical to each other. They appear to be vacant. What are they?

ANSWER: They’re camouflaged cell sites/cell towers. You can see the antennas through the windows in the second story.

Wireless companies have concocted some extremely creative ways to disguise their towers. You can spot unusual palm trees and pine trees (there’s one on Monument Hill) and saguaro cacti. There’s a tower on a silo near Longmont. There’s a fake-cow cell tower in Kansas. And sites are hidden in the crosses on churches, put inside fake boulders and behind signs atop tall buildings.
