Off topic, but are still any phone booths anywhere?

I haven’t seen a phone booth in many years.

I looked for one of those phone kiosks they used to have next to gas stations some years ago. Only the kiosk was left. At the time, I didn’t have a cell phone. Who needed another phone bill?! The powers that be have forced the issue.

I saw a couple outdoor payphone kiosks somewhere recently. Surprised me that they were still standing. No phones, but still.

Have to switch to a vacant former FotoMat booth behind a bowling alley next to a former Blockbuster Video place.

Plenty of room for people who admire her.

Love it that one is now a psychic’s place.

They seem extinct for sure.
