AT&T built myriad microwave relay towers across the US in the 1950s and 60s. The company called its transcontinental telecommunications system the Long Lines network, and it led to early long-distance phone service. Although decades have passed since the towers were last used for their intended purpose, many of them continue to dominate the countryside. The monoliths captured my attention from a young age, and one towers over Lynn, in rural Randolph County.
