I've seen some nice telco central offices in small towns that blend right into the residential subdivision neighborhood.
Usually they screw up the illusion by installing enough "property of xyz telco" signs and maybe a bucket truck or two in the driveway, but the CO itself is just residential house.
Must be some weird story behind that.
- leggomylibro 10y agoI remember seeing one in St. Louis - it was just an ordinary drab, beige-brick corner office building, and you wouldn't pick it out besides the 'AT&T' signs and the blinking rows of servers barely visible behind barred first-story windows. Interestingly, it was right across the street from a gas station that often had a 'Nuisance Abatement Vehicle' (Bearcat) parked outside which was covered in cameras and painted with a gaudy, "We are watching you!" slogan complemented by an icon of an eye inside of a magnifying glass. But I think that was just the PD trying to justify its budget expenditures.
