You'll get better wifi down in Chattanooga, where the city provides it as a utility (and the cable company lobbyists got a law passed to try to stop that anywhere else in the state - let's all here it for monopolies!).

Soccer ball. I think that the top of the tower looks most like a soccer ball. The next word that comes to mind is "eyesore."
