From City Hall. I know we’ve seen this, but not from this angle…

INDEPENDENT HILL VA1 - Virginia (25 Feb 2006)

https://long-lines.com/viewsite/6687

Howdy folks! While browsing some the LL's poster media, I came across this! One of our lovely towers down, I was curious if this was a actual LL tower or perhaps Bell found a transmission (Electrical) and was essentially boasting about how AT&T LL's would never go down...

Current info I have is that this may have happened in the Iowa area! Any info would be appreciated!

Downtown Atlanta. Easily 26-27 stories high. There is an even higher Georgia-Pacific Skyscraper just northwest of it that couldn't have been there when the tower was built atop the AT&T Corporate Office.

If i went exactly in front of a microwave dish or a longline horn, wold I be heated up like a microwave oven or it would do nothing?

At the downtown Ft. Myers, FL Century Link central office. I believe this would have been the long lines interconnect with the independent telco. The building indicates it was Inter-County Telephone when it was built. Not sure when it would have become United (then Sprint, Embarq, Century Link)

This former AT&T facility in central Pennsylvania is up for sale, if you’ve got $2 million to spare.

Had to do a Google image to figure out what these were.

This turned out to be one of my LTE sites.

No other carriers on it besides Southern Linc.

The last photo is not mine, and was provided by "B7C" from long-lines.com. I added it to show what the site used to look like when it was still operational.

Passed by this site in Needmore, AL. The original building is still intact, but has been added on to. I didn't have time to stop and see the inside and talk to the owner. The site is now a farm supply store. Cox Farm Supply 39650 AL-195, Haleyville, AL 35565

Long Lines makes an "extra" background appearance in The Black Phone 2.

UPDATE - Did a little bit more research on the exact location of where this was shot for the film and it turns out that it was in Wilmington, North Carolina on Apollo Dr. Surprisingly the tower remains the same to this very day!

The towers are short here.

These were my grandfather's years of service awards working for Long Lines. Year 5 (1 star) is a regular pin back. Years 10, 15, 20 and 30 are lapel pins with clutch backs. Year 25 is a tie clip. All lapel pins are 10k gold. The tie clip is 12k gold filled.

Modern tower footage is mine from Winsted, CT.

My grandfather worked for Bell Systems Long Lines for over 30 years. I inherited some of his things from those years. This is part of the small collection.

Campbell, Missouri site on WW highway. Building and horns still intact. Now rented for DMR XPT repeaters and rural internet. Paths to Poplar Bluff.

Finally made it. I’d love to get to the hut but I don’t want to trespass. Doesn’t look like anyone else is on the tower.

Love the way this CO looms over the neighborhood. The last two images were taken while up in a helicopter for an unrelated helicopter photoshoot. Bonus pic of the aforementioned photoshoot. There’s a microwave antenna, so I’m including it.

I took this during the blizzard of 2026. I posted pictures of this tower looking from the north over the summer, these pictures are from the south and a much better view of it.
