It’s giving good connectivity and people don’t even see it.”  Steeples are the latest place towers are hidden in plain sight. They are disguised as trees. They are in trees, and even on fast food signs. Usually there is controversy no matter where they go.  Could churches become the new viable location for cell towers?
