Fake tree dubbed Frankenpine Nextel Partners is proposing a 35-metre tower to provide cellular phone service for its customers along the eastern part of Lake George, including an area known as the Million Dollar Beach. The tower would be painted brown, with fake branches attached to camouflage it as a white pine, even though it would be nine metres taller than any surrounding tree.
