Chris:

Thank you for showing us the way. Looking to the east, "always chasing rainbows" as we are taught through the Kiwanis Songbook of Eternal Hits, I travelled to Westchester County, New York and north through new developments in Hopewell Junction and on up the Hudson Valley over a Labor Day holiday.

I was quite surprised to see so many boxes in neighborhoods with $500K - $1.2 million houses.

Sure the boxes were pristine, in that they lacked grafitti. The boxes rang negative and devalued the property in my hypersensitized Wood head.

Are we missing the beautiful dirt road cultural rainbow of media people crave from these wonderous boxes by concentrating so ferociously on the ugly in the most densely populated city between New York and Chicago?

In green fields and 1 acre lots with expensive McMansions one can raise one's head, look to the rainbow, and then retreat indoors and hook up to the dirt road of media, happy and contented. I guess that's the beauty and glory of sprawl.

hahahahaha


well I talked to John Adams (the drummer at jacobs field) last night about these boxes since he works for AT&T and he explained to me the purpose of these boxes.

With everything going to fiberoptics nowadays I wonder why we need such huge boxes to hold these tiny glass tubes that are as thick as a needle.

weird.

At least artists get more canvas' :twisted:

Because there's only fiber up to the box. It's copper from there, unlike Verizon's FIOS, which is fiber all the way up to the interface box outside of the house.

I noticed a lot of graffiti on some of the tall grey "telephone poles" this afternoon as I illegally trespassed along the railroad right of way near Hird. I noticed a lot of litter, too. To the credit of JOB and others, I believe a while back there was a group of renegades who cleaned up the railroad track area.
