Old Microwave Tower - Lincoln, Nebraska
For years, I have been wondering what this tower is used for.
I decided to research and discovered as I copied from the discussion board: "The structure sits atop the Windstream building and was originally used for microwave and other wireless technology in the 60s and 70s. Since that technology is no longer in use, the tower now serves only as an observation tower. Over the years, the city has repeatedly asked LT&T/Aliant/Alltel/Windstream to remove it, but they have refused, arguing that if future technology ever required such a tower, it would be nearly impossible to secure zoning and approval to rebuild it."
Now, that eases my curiosity. ;-)
