Has anyone been able to track down the real locations of these fake cell
towers? I couldn't get find a source any more detailed than the Popular Science
article.

That Popular Science article just has Google Maps "teardrops" in various large
cities. There's a teardrop in Denver, where I live.  If I had the actual
location (street address or latitude/longitude) I'd go look at it, take
pictures, read signage, see if my phone went to 2G, etc.
