STFU and mind your own business. Cell coverage blows in that area and it is because these prissy little bastards are all cantankerous about modern technology befuddling their existence. Maybe when Depends come with a cell phone pocket we'll start having better coverage around here. I agree El Som. STFU and mind your own business.

Has anyone seen Bethany Beach lately? A $25 million beach replenishment project washed away in 13 months. Wait until you hear the WHINING about flooding, no renters, small crowds in the summer and how WE the TAXPAYERS, should pay for their entitlement, a new beach. Again and again and again.

You move to a county that is rural, with de minimis taxes and de minimis government services and expect all the urban perks (of Detroit, no less) that you willingly left behind? And you don't want anyone else to follow you there, either. The hypocrisy of it all!

In a wooded area it would still stand out, but maybe a little less.

We should have let Candid Camera leave the gates up.

They are overpriced, and, if you bought one, you'd get stuck with Gerald Hocker as your state rep. And these condos aren’t all that special – built in 1984, most sell in the low $400K.

Decorate the tower just like the totem pole that served as Bethany's signature structure for years. As to the U of D windmill, Lewes needs a Dutch Pantry eatery, so... You're welcome.

It looks like a cell phone tower with some strap on tree branches. Not really a better look, IMO. nemski's app for the NIMBYs is funny!

So AT&T is working at fixing holes in its cell coverage meaning that no only will these people get their dinner reservations in, but they'll be able to follow their Twitter feeds all day long. Unsightly phone towers are a problem everywhere, but how do you get and keep cell service (and especially all of the data services) without them?
