Towers Department Stores

Towers was a Canadian discount department store chain owned by the Oshawa Group, a now-defunct grocery retailer and distributor. The first store was opened in 1960 in Toronto (at the corner of Lawrence Ave. East and Midland Ave.). Each selling department within a Towers store was operated as a licensed concession. In Quebec, Towers was known as Bonimart. In 1990, Towers/BoniMart's 51 stores were purchased by Zellers for for $181.5 million, and converted to the Zellers name. Zellers had been a unit of the Hudson's Bay Company since 1978.

Cellphone Towers and Beauty

Many people view bare cell phone towers as ugly and an intrusion on their neighborhoods. Even though people have increasingly become depend upon cellular communications, they hate the bare towers popping up across scenic views. People allow modern technology like roads, power lines, telephone poles, lamp posts, water towers, etc and have become used to them. Many companies offer to "hide" cellphone towers as trees, church towers, flag poles, water tanks, etc. There are many providers that offer these services as part of the normal tower installation and maintainance services. Crafton Group, based in south-east US offers some of these services. Some example images can be found over at Larsons, which offers similar services, based in Central US.
