Sutro Tower, it stands on Mt Sutro (of course) is the highest point in my town and a major part of the skyline. we are not particularly fond of it, but it DOES give good TV/Radio/Cell reception.
It's acquired a few irreverent nicknames and descriptions over the years. The one that amuses me most is "looks like the first half of the Golden Arches." (A reference to the ever-present MacDonalds fast food chain.)

The thing with these towers which command everyone's view is, why can';t they be works of art as well? Still, at least you have the functional benefits. In my city there is an uproar when new towers are mooted.

It's easy to be the highest point when you're standing on a hill :) Have to admit, this tower is not really a piece of art, but it's nice to have good reception.
