That does seem to line up correctly for it to be the Clarksville tower.

Also, I noticed tonight that the lights on the crown of the Independent are flickering on and off.

Another capture, zoomed in, from this morning:

Not knowing what the Clarksville tower is, I'm guessing this is a crane? Does anyone know of a crane between this web cam and the tower?

It is a microwave tower that is just west of DT. It's easily visible from Mopac and is red and white in color.

This is the Clarksville Tower. It's at 10th and West Lynn.

Mystery solved! Thanks!

Oh yeah, that's totally that microwave tower. I was thinking last night that for it to not be it would have to mean there wouldn't be a light on it, which wouldn't make sense. That tower is almost 300 feet tall. Looking at the webcam view just now with the overcast weather, it's easier to see the tower in front of 5th & West. Some friends of ours owned a house on West 9th 1/2 Street near the dead end of the street, and the tower really looms over that street.
