We had american tower demo a perfectly good 250ft self supporter less than
20 years old. Took about 6 months after the last carrier left and one day I
drove by and a crew had it half unstacked by crane. Looked like it was
being cut up for scrap. I wish they would have put a for sale sign out
front or something, I'd have taken it off their hands.

I can only imagine the size of the concrete block underground.  I wonder 
if they're going to break that up, or just throw some dirt on top of it.

I'm not sure who owns the land.  I'm guessing the tower was there 
before anything else was developed.  I just figured since it was a Fed 
tower, it was Fed land.

They had to build a special pad just for the demolition crane to sit 
on.  It hasn't had any tower lights since last year, so I guess  I 
should have figured it was going away.
