There is still an outdoor payphone in, of all places, downtown Rodman. The once ubiquitous devices used to be everywhere...pre-cell phone.
We used to have one in the Pearl Street Pub, but that was taken out long ago. Remember the row of phones in the Arcade and the special lines that went to he taxi companies.
These stories about things that used to be common in our lives are an interesting read.
Now if they can find a store that still has a TV tube tester, or 45rpm records or a photo booth...The number of feature stories about products gone by is endless.
