I hardly ever even see phone booths anymore. But it sure is fun when you hit the jackpot! I don’t even know how much a phone call costs anymore. Hope you have a great weekend!
I remember when it was a dime! Sounds like your mama was always watching out for you! I do like the security of having a cell phone these days. Enjoy your Friday!
Good call, David! Ha ha. I couldn’t believe it was still there. I don’t know if it worked though. In any case, I hope you have a great weekend and are not too busy. 🙂
It seems like most of us bloggers have done that! I wonder if there is some kind of personality trait connection. Hmm…. Perhaps we look for value in the same, every day things of life. Enjoy your day!
Used to do it every time! Helps some times to jiggle the hook the receiver sits on. Now, let me see the last payphone I found was in the RV Park in the International Peace Gardens. Never expected one in that forgotten place. And it worked! Have a great weekend.
I never thought to jiggle the receiver hook! You learn something every day! I don’t know if this one worked, but now I wish I would have tried. However, we probably didn’t have any coins with us. Another sign of the times! Hope you have a good day!
I sure have, Betty! I’d bet there’s not much chance of finding anything these days, lol.

Oh yes, called home so many times on one of these. Mama always said to make sure I had a quarter or two in my purse, just in case!

It was a dime in my pre-teen days, but that ’70’s inflation sent it skyrocketing to a quarter!
