Today I went to help cook dinner at a homeless shelter (the on topic part)
and when I was parking, this grabbed my attention and I'm glad I had my
camera.

I don't know if there was a phone in there somewhere.

What a cool thing for a busy person to do.

Looks like passion vine. :-) Still edible so still on topic!

Glad you had a camera. I've not seen a phone booth in years...

Ah nostalgia!

Nice pic!

LOL! It actually is part of Single Volunteers of Baltimore and Annapolis
(SVBA). My first event. It was eye-opening. The few people who came to
eat enjoyed it as it was (more of a hot dish, but we had fun preparing it,
and they have plenty of leftovers for the weekend). It was heartbreaking
and encouraging both at the same time to see these tiny toddlers with just
an older brother (or father, but he sure was young) come to eat, and come
back for seconds. We cooked and one of the chores for the diners was to
clean up. But we kept reusing pots and pans to as to not load up the sink,
and we rinsed everything and put them to soak.

One of the defendants in a case where our client is the plaintiff (and
we won) was a kid who came into a sizable inheritance from his
grandmother and invested about all of it in a company that makes
public [coin operated] telephones. I don't think that's working out
well for him...

It's a racket. My wife stayed in an area with no cell phone coverage.
She called me from a pay phone using a credit card. We got billed over
US$20 for a five minute call! It was about 200 miles away.

Still, in my neighborhood the pay phones are often busy. People talk a
long time on them. It seems to be middle aged men. I don't know what
they are saying, because it is all in Spanish. Perhaps they are using
a cheap calling card to call Mexico?

Ah - a real phone booth. Who recalls the indoor wooden booths,
complete with light, fan, a seat, and a bi-fold door? I've seen em at
antique shows, selling for a couple of thou.

I remember them. I saw an English one a few years ago that had an
asking of $2500+. It was totally cool! Wish I'd bought it. My life
and my house was in a "different place" (not physically) back then
though and it was out of the question.

My home town was so poor we only had one phone booth, and it was on
the back of a truck that drove around to all the neighborhoods.
