Telephone Company

[click image to enlarge]


With the advent of the cell phone, pay phones have become an endangered item. I found this one on Hancock Street right outside the site of the former American Telephone & Telegraph Company (Ma Bell)now occupied by Verizon.

I'm always on the lookout for telephone booths . . . do you have any in your part of the world?

well here in india we do have a lot of telephone booths. but they arent really booths per se, most of the times they are like a pay phone, you put in coins by the minute.
the booths are primarily for international / national calls.. the former is btw called STD... it stands for Standard Trunk Dial..

We have plenty. Because we have tourists and people who need to get in touch with their pot dealers.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
