They look like the object in 2001 a space odyssey. Or the object on the cover of the Who's Next album. Take a look at the cover. Maybe that's how Lakewood residents should welcome these things to our landscape.

I did not want to pile on, but here are two images from the archive we decided not to use.
Early Observer meeting.
Inside the Lombardo_House?
Not really sure what it all means?

I'm not sure anyone really understood what 2001 A Space Odyssey meant. But, neither do people who desecrate our WWI era landscape with 21st century eyesores.

Talked to the city again on this. A complete map of all locations is available at the City Engineer's office. You can stop by anytime to see it. Yes, the number I was told was "close to 50".

We will have the map online shortly.

Speaking of classics, are you going to order one of these new "antique patina boxes" for your front lawn, or are you going to be a loser and ask for one of those underground boxes?
Farther west on Clifton, AT&T has adopted an antique look. This is only a block north Lakewood's Antique District, and serves as a beacon to all driving through Lakewood.
Very realistic "stressing." Some cities would have to pay $250,000 a year or more for this kind of detail and service.
Even the latches look real!
Thank you
.

UPDATE
Well it's been awhile so I went looking for AT&T's boxes that were going to propel Lakewood into the 20th Century.
All I could see were these. The seem lighter, and are certainly speedier to open and service, but...
Hard to believe thousands of phone lines, TV, email, private information so hard to get to. Also completely blown away with the urban camoflague. The tie strap is a nice touch, makes most think it is cool, and very secure.
Those are actual "Lightspeed Circuits" or circuits that would be close to AT&Ts blazing Lightspeed Technology.
Now that was worth the Cox Communications Lawsuit wasn't it?

With the current trend in build-out practically to the street going on, it looks as if these big boxes may make exiting a driveway just as interesting as getting through the Madison-intersection, or perhaps the new "Y"'s driveway, or even the one by the new Harding, provided that they still keep that egress.
Buildings and boxes placed so close to the street can make it hard to see children, and traffic issues, in time to stop trouble.
Additionally. on the side of several smaller boxes around town, I've already observed unauthorized artwork, in the form of a long-haired, one-eyed cyclops-type character.
As for interconnected phone and cable access? Our cable companies already seem to be doing the job without having virtual linen closets sitting by the end of driveways. As to safety issues with only 110 volts? You may be right Jim, but I'd still rather not stand next to my 110 volt microwave oven for very long. Do we know enough about what these type of energy these boxes may emit? It seems to me, and I may be wrong, that all electrical energy gives some form of radiation.

Gary: Quote: It seems to me, and I may be wrong, that all electrical energy gives some form of radiation. You are absolutely correct. Hence, the Quote: long-haired, one-eyed cyclops-type character.
It's actually a warning about the impending mutation.

Hey Jeff,
Actually, I had a guy in my old rock band who looked quite a bit like that graffiti cyclops ;-P
