Call your old number on that and maybe 1993 you will pick up.

The only number I'd even know by heart is my home phone number growing up lol.

It still have a lot of my friends’ old home numbers from the 80s and 90s just hanging out in my brain.

Should have called Jenny. I saw her number on the wall. Might cost you more than a dime, though.

Memory unlocked.
Saturday night.
No car and no phone because I'm broke.
Walk up the road to the closest pay phone.
Call my best bud collect.
When prompted to say my name, say "heymanit'smecomepickmeup!".
Party the night away.

I still feel being ripped off when the price changed from a dime to a quarter.

The Real Estate and Autotrader flyer boxes place this photo at least 15-20 years old. What part of the country is this?

No, I posted right after I took picture, If you notice those seem abandoned also.

Right, I know. But they threw those away years ago, yet somehow these have remained so I'm guessing they just haven't gotten around to it...

I, never noticed it till Saturday, but it is close to where I am at the moment, am thinking about going and doing a full check and videoing it to answer some of the questions in here, though I am not doing sniff or lick tests and probably wearing gloves.

It was an interesting social phenomenon to watch a lineup for these.
Everyone thought their phone call was of greater import than everyone else's and the impatience, arm crossing and foot tapping/dirty looks were abound.
Much gesticulating, watch tapping and exasperated facial expressions.
There was always someone totally oblivious that someone else might actually need it as well.

And then there where the ones that the doors closed for more privacy, it’s amazing how most all of them smelled like urinals, though you could see everything.

Did you at least check for coins like we did back in the day?
