Like pieces on a giant Monopoly board, three sections of a steeple lay strewn Friday in the parking lot of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Roanoke.

Next week, Ntelos cellular phone service is expected to begin installing its new antenna inside the white fiberglass steeple that was lifted in sections Friday atop the Grandin Road church, said James Boyd of Morco Construction. Two cranes were poised to lift the new 3,800-pound steeple.

2. This is a real boon to churches that are in

a prime location to be a cell site. The cell companies pay a huge amount of money which is a lot of cases covers all the expenses of the parish. This is used in places were people complain about the toweres ruining the view.
