Hmmm... Phonebooths. I don't know that I've any photos of those. I
have a few payphone shots, but none of booths, with the doors and all.
Now, ~that~ would be interesting. Most of them seem quite derelict
these days; I mean, with cells, who the hell uses payphones these
days? I'll have to keep an eye for booths. Especially the real old
wooden ones, such as one would find inside of older buildings. I know
there are a very few of them downtown; I just have to rack my brains
to figure out where.
Since we're doing reminiscences; there was a cartoon in Mad Magazine (probably part of Dave Berg's "This Modern Life" series) that showed Clark Kent having a problem; all the phones were in those new little shelf-and-shield configuration.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
