It's unlikely that these are static towers: more likely to be Stingray or
similar mobile technology.

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.
