1690 AM Tower Gone

[RoddyFreeman]

I was driving on Cheshire Bridge Road in AM Transmitter Heaven this morning and noticed the former WMLB/1690 tower has already been taken down. As was chronicled here a couple of weeks ago, the station moved to the 970/1190 tower a couple of blocks away, also in ATH.

I wonder if Barry saw the tower being disassembled from his apartment on the roof of the Red Snapper.

If I am not mistaken, the crane that was used to lift the 10kw transmitter onto the flatbed was also used to take down the tower. It was down just a few days after the transmitter was removed.

The city just removed a lot of the brush along Peachtree Creek which means I look straight across the creek and the Red Snapper parking lot into the WQXI field. All I have to say is Lincoln Financial needs to paint the little white transmitter building. I did not notice the moldy stuff growing on one side when the brush was blocking the view from my patio.

You can see the building on Street View of Google Maps. Yuck!
