Giant clock tower disguises a cell tower
Why is a 137-foot clock tower going up behind a strip mall at the intersection
of Graham Road and Route 50? It’s a cell tower on the grounds of the Fairfax
County Public Schools-owned building in Falls Church that used to house Graham Road Elementary School. The tower will provide Verizon and AT&T service, said a
spokesperson for the construction company, eciWireless of Dillsburg, Pa.

Not much of a disguise, but at least they didnt opt for one of those giant plastic pine trees – those things are just insulting.
Now, put a cell tower at the low point on Sleepy Hollow Road near SHBR and SHRA (where it reeks of raw sewage. Calls repeatedly drop there.
It's a compromise. It continues to be ugly because those tubular support posts actually look much larger than they appear in the picture but it's better than a plain cellphone tower. Also, as the picture indicates, the surrounding environment lacks much in the way of appearance either. I live five blocks away and, surprisingly, my Verizon signal strength is only mediocre, generally around 2 bars.
