COLUMN: Phone calls from the Murphy Center entryways

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — If you've ever spent much time on the first floor of the Murphy Center, I know at least one thing about your time there: you're almost certainly not taking a phone call.

Maybe it's the infrastructure of a building that opened 51 years ago, well before cell phones were commonplace. Maybe it's just the fact that the Glass House was built into the ground itself. Regardless, the first floor of the Murphy Center has just about the worst cell reception anywhere I've worked. Luckily for me, it doesn't affect my day-to-day work too often.
