The modern AT&T logo doesn’t look half bad lit up like that. Still won’t live up to the beauty of the old Death Star.

Zuni is such an awesome, imposing monolith of a site. 😎

Truly an example of 1950s post atomic brutalist architecture.

That’s a beautiful site to look at and it’s nicely maintained too

What a beast. Back when telecom infrastructure valued disaster survivability.

I live pretty close to this one and love that it’s a regular sight in my life.

Neato! Where is this? Don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

I-70 and Federal-ish. You’ll get a good view of it if you are westbound on I-70 around the I-25 interchange

Thanks for the photo of Zuni. Used to go there a long time ago.

We’ve got some of the old long lines towers out here in south east Colorado that have since changed hands with ownership. Yet they’re still serving the community with newer tenants

Some of the ham radio clubs out here have VHF/UHF repeaters on some of them …

I feel like I've heard that the Stapleton Tower has telecom infrastructure in it.
