I cant remember the last time I used a pay phone and just got to thinking about it, I cant recall the last time I even saw one.

One about two blocks from here as I type. They're around.

Plug this into Google Maps and go to street view: 47.642392, -122.199603

Most got removed years ago and recycled.

They're still around.

But if you find yourself in an area with a buncha em around, GTFO.

Just saw one at a gas station about 20 miles from my home today. First one I've seen in a long time.

Which reminds me, I would be thrilled if Donald cancelled the OBPhone program.

My accountant manages the books for a gas station. A couple of years ago the IRS was auditing the gas station and put the screws to them because the gas station had a phone booth. The IRS wanted to know how much he made off of it either in change or lease payments. They wouldn't believe him when he said it was empty....as in NO phone. The phone was removed years ago but they had to drive the agent to the station and prove that there was no phone.

The places that do have a pay phone are generally places I'd never stop to use it.

I believe the convenience store down the street from me has a couple of them.

When you do find one, if you have to use it, even local calls on the last one I looked at was like $2.50 for 3 minutes...
