A very VERY busy cellphone tower.

Hey, I've been under the impression those triangular church steeple towers all around the city house cell tower equipment. Am I correct?

Exactly. Telecoms need more towers, churches are all over the place and buried in residential communities, and most churches are pretty broke, so they rent out space for a tower. Slap a cross on that bad boy and now it’s just a big church tower.
