Austin Energy is tied directly to the practical side of this story: these towers aren’t just historical curiosities, they’re part of a city that still has to keep the lights on. If you want the official, up-to-date context behind Austin’s unusual lighting infrastructure, that’s where to start. It’s the grounded, municipal counterpart to me pointing at a tower and going “wait, why is that there?”
