Back in the olden days when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and I left my parents home at the age of 19 in ‘70 I couldn’t afford a telephone for the first year on my own. So I used telephone booths to call home once a week, 45 cents for the first three mins. I always used the phone booths at the Pacific Telephone office on Liberty St in Petaluma, Calif because they were the nicest ones. They were built into the side of the building and had a comfortable seat, a real door for privacy and even a fan if it was hot outside.
Now a days phone booths are as scarce as hens teeth! BTW, for the Boomers, remember when they began installing emergency phones along the freeways in the ‘70’s? That was a real comfort to see those phones along long stretch's the freeway, knowing that a call for help in an emergency was possible in those days before the ubiquitous cell phone.
As Archie and Edith Bunker used to sing “Those were the days”!
