I’m glad you included the pump and hose – that makes it! There were some of these in Snohomish, in a back parking lot near a used book store. They get around!
Some corporations are making little phone booth rooms so their employees who work in big open spaces with hundreds of others can have a little privacy to make a call (or whatever…those open plan offices are awful).
All the phone booths in NYC are being replace with internet hubs…off with their heads, I say! (K)
I actually worked in an open office 40 years ago…we hated it, and used to go into unused conference rooms to work when we could get away with it. The bosses had outer rooms with windows, and we underlings were stuck together in the center with no air and no light…
That comment went in the wrong place! I can’t remember the last time I saw a real phone booth. There was always something so film noir romantic about them to me.
I’m all in for bringing back the phone booth even if it is just a place to use your cell phone but a public phone makes a statement about the importance of communication, about its necessity.

I used many a phone booth growing up while my grandkids would probably have to post the photo on social media to find out what it was used for. 🙂

i can’t imagine working in the open space … somehow the employers believe they’re forward thinking (and hip).
