Before They Disappear - Pay Phone
 |
| Pay Phone Walmart foyer Riverton, WY October 2015 |
Pay phone sightings are becoming more and more rare, so when I see one, I take a photo. . .before they disappear completely in this age of cell phones.
Two years ago, I challenged my readers to look around their community for pay phones, and Tracy has been on the lookout. She recently spotted two phones in one day.
Tracy sent me some links on pay phones - it's fun to see just how many phones used to be in our communities and have gradually disappeared.

Have you spotted any pay phones in your community? If you have, go take a photo before they disappear.
That one even looks fairly new! Nice find!
ReplyDeleteGood find! You have to drive a long ways to find one in Minnesota! I think the nearest one to me is in Fergus Falls Mn and that is 90 miles away:)
ReplyDeleteNow you have sparked my interest! I will have to look when I go to Walmart today. I have never noticed a pay phone there but maybe I have missed it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't spotted a pay phone in our area in a couple of years. But now I'll have to look for closely.
ReplyDeleteI remember your post 2 years ago about pay phones.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of a pay phone sighting. I definitely get all nostalgic and feel the need to tell my son about having to keep a dime and then a quarter in my pocket. He rolls his eyes immediately. hehe.
ReplyDeleteI do think I know where one is in my neighborhood FOR YOU
ReplyDeleteI always do a double take when I see one because I do so rarely see them. I wonder how many teenagers even know what they are. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't recall seeing any recently, but now I will be on the lookout. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember when I last saw one around here.
