That is incredible. I've never seen anything like it! Totally cool beyond measure!

I love your history post. It is so crazy now to think about when we were young; there were phone booths all over. Now they are unicorns. Time is something else. I remember watching many movies centered around the phone booth. I also remember gathering coins to call my girlfriend from the phone booth. Great picture, great post.

Of

Of course, ours were large enough for a courting couple or to receive heartbreaking news.🦋

That's very ornate unlike the metal booths that I remember growing up. You have me wanting to see the movie Payphone.

What a lovely pay phone, much more attractive than the ones in Australia.

Good Afternoon

Sherri, this is such a nice memory from back in the day.  It's a good thing John went into the Navy, or he wouldn't have met you.  We used to have payphones everywhere, but I haven't seen one in years.  People used to check them for change.

Ah, those were the days, when we did our best to keep our phone conversations private!
