Sure, Shoreview has trees — but it’s the three giant towers that command attention (minnpost.com) “For good or ill, Shoreview is known as the home of the TV towers,” former Shoreview Mayor Bill Ferrell told the late, great Pioneer Press columnist Don Boxmeyer in the early 1990s. “Even the pine trees on Shoreview’s official logo are mistaken for TV towers.”
