r/longlines

Not sure what this site was for. Someone else may know. This is behind the Walmart Supercenter located on Goodman Rd in Horn Lake, MS.

This site is located on Valentine Rd less than a mile north off US highway 72 in Benton county. I believe the next few hops to the east were Grand Junction, TN, Pocahontas, TN, Michie TN and so forth. I don't recall the next hop to the west unless it was Olive Branch, MS???

When you have to detour around a highway closure and the county highway you end up on takes you past a Long Lines tower with “flyswatter” antennas. 🤯😁😁😁

Will post more photos that I took on my camera later today.

On Route 73 across from Winslow High School

Went on a ~3-day trip to Utah, found these two towers.
Also, screw 8MP phone cameras

With hotel across the street

Cool (yet kinda muggy) evening to walk up the dark road at 10:30pm from oldest son’s house to catch the full moon rising with the silhouette of long line tower here. All iPhone 14 pro photos.

Went for a little ride today. This was the best location I visited.

Spotted the back of a longline horn in this video from TikTok

Anyone know what kind of Longlines presence was in this area, if any?

An old microwave relay for AT&T in Hazlehurst MS.

Got chatting with the Vestal museum staff on Saturday and got roped into expanding their telecommunications exhibit. 😅. Highly recommend, they've got some original telegraphs and a phone booth. Along with a metric f**kton of arrowheads. If anyone knows the exact construction date of that tower, lmk! I did some digging in the property records and didn't find much, so I just gave a range because it was on the 1970 map and it was not on the 1960 version.

Went to check it out in more detail and noticed they have the bell manhole cover

Checking in from New England. Looks like this site may still be used for something.

Couple of pictures that I took this morning. I’m sorting through the pictures I have over the last 15 years and will eventually make a post with them.
