Union Project has been considering renting our bell tower to cell phone companies, although I'm not sure if it's a lucrative site for them yet. If anyone has direct contact to the company representatives that locate new cell phone towers feel free to pass the info along to me, and we'll check into it. justin Justin Rothshank Associate Director Union Project 801 N.

I also have T-Mobile and live towards East Liberty and often have dropped reception and can never get service in Taza Dora.

I am also copying Justin Rothshank on this because I know that the Union Project is just beginning looking into renting out their tower as another source of income for them! Seems as though you would have a lot of interested customers??!!

I have Cingular, and the service here on N. Euclid is very bad. I am in the 1100 block, and could never keep a conversation on my phone. I think it's just a bad area for cell phone use.

I have to chime in with a "me too" here for T-Mobile. At Wellesley and N. Negley I get about 2 bars of service, despite the fact that I'm in one of the better sections of Highland Park according to T- Mobile's service locator (http://compass.t-mobile.com/). That same locator claims that as you get closer to the park entrance, service drops off to nothing.
