Having worked for VZ, one of the few places in the city that had a pay phone was in front of our building. I was always amazed how many people worked that phone on a daily basis.Huh. Who knew?
I'll stick this thing back on a pole outside with a fruit pie and see what happens.

I never worked for VZ of any of the previous Baby Bells. I was always an 'interconnect' guy. PBXs and the like.
!! Never heard of it !!
I guess it became too much of an attractive nuisance for the park service and they eliminated it. Awwww.

I have no idea how that happened, but I can't get the edit to work. Sorry people.
