Yes we become a bit nostalgic in those winterdays. I remember me making a phone call in Spain to my father who had his birthay. It was at a very noisy crowded boulevard and you had to put coins in the machine very quickly otherwise you lost the connection.

I cannot think of a single pay phone anywhere near.

(that idiot spammer hit me this morning, too.)

What a great find. Haven't seen one in years.

RedPat said...

And it looks like there is even a phone book in there!

Michelle said...

Haven't seen one of these in forever.

Amazing to me how quickly technology changes everything, and that phone booths have become objects of curiosity!

I tried to relay a "car breaking down" story from my long-ago youth to a group of teenagers. There was no pay phone nearby, so I had to walk to a house. "What's a pay phone?" They asked.
