When is the last time you looked for a pay phone? literally 90% of pay phones are gone. I live in a very small town (under 3000 ppl)at one time we had at minimum 12 pay phones. We now have one and it rarely works. There is a pay card phone at the Speedway Station, you buy a card with time on it and then swipe the card to make a call. When I lived in St. Paul, MN there were pay phones everywhere, last visit to my old neighborhood all of the pay phones are gone. Stopped by my old watering hole and brought it up to the famous football player owner. He said SBC removed all of their phones, the vandalism and lack of use made them no longer profitable. Nope it is Cellphones cellphones cell phones, who can survive without these little wonders? Apparently very few can as I am constantly bombarded everywhere I go with other people phone conversations. The Movie Theater, Restaurants, Grocery Store, Hospital, High School Sporting events, The Local Park, The Local Watering Hole, all filled with conversation, unfortunately they are all inane cellphone conversations and not face to face people talking.
