Close enough. I'd say its closer to Capital Ave./331, but yeah. Its on Third Street (I think it's street, as opposed to avenue), pretty much down behind the Taco Bell, Burger King and McDonalds that sit in a row about a mile or less beyond Bittersweet (at the end of Bittersweet is an Applebees whose parking lot backs right up to the NS line).

The electric towers run in about a straight north-south line, actually paralleling Capital/331 for a short distance as Capital/331 is being pushed all the way through between the US20 bypass and the toll road and happens to share the right of way with the powerlines for a couple miles. I'm momentarily drawing a blank on where the power lines go north of town, and have no idea where they go south of town, but I'd say its one of the only spots where you can get a shot with power lines like that in the immediate vicinity.
