I can’t remember the last time I saw an actual phone booth. You know one where you go into and close the door and talk.
I live in Chicago and can’t recall the last time I saw one or if any still exist? Do any exist where you are?
The last phone booth I can recall was in a train station (suburban commuter station) in the early 90s. I’m sure it’s gone by now.
Hell, I can’t really remember the last time I saw a public phone, let alone one in a real phone booth. I mean, I can remember the one at the drugstore near my middle school, which did have the folding door and all, but even during the 80s finding a real booth was hard, most public phones were just set into a wall, with maybe some small wings sticking out to give the smallest illusion of privacy. I GUESS that’s why they had the wings, I’m not sure that they did any good.
We have loads of phone booths. But then again…Im in England
Metropolis
But many are disappearing, as this news article about one area of England shows.
Just as well they are disappea-ring – no one should have to live in such cramped quarters.
I saw one in Khartoum, Sudan last year near a restaurant on the Nile. It didn’t have a phone in it though. 
Walden, Colorado (as of August '10).
I’ve seen some in the service areas on the Mass Turnpike, although there aren’t as many as there used to be – there are still scars on the walls where they took the old ones out.
There’s at least 5 here in town
Hill Valley still has at least one in 2015
There’s a phone in a booth just outside the nearest Walmart to me.
I see pay phones occassionally, but rarely phone booths. The thing I use pay phones most for now is to actually look up an address or phone number in the attached phone book, but rarely do I actually find a pay phone (in a booth or not) with a book. Frustrating.
There’s a phone booth outside a diner in my neighborhood. There some illegal gambling going on there and I think the continuing presence of the phone booth is probably do to that.
I live in southern Maryland - we have lots around here. The Amish use them. It is different to see a phone booth where a dirt lane meets a paved road. If I was any kind of a photographer, I’d do a photo essay…
There are two 50 metres in one direction from my house, and another about 100 metres in the opposite direction.
DC Metro stations all have payphones - at least, I haven’t seen a station without one. They aren’t booths, though.
There are still quite a few in Japan, at least in the town I live in. Kids don’t (can’t?) generally have cell phones, so it’s usually school students using them, if anyone is.
There’s a house about 4 miles from mine that has a working phone booth in the backyard, beside the pool. That’s the only one I’ve seen in 29 years.
As for regular payphones, there’s 1 in my town, and the local Wal-Mart has 2 in it. Other than that there’s none here.
There’s a payphone at the Kroger up the road, but it’s inside, not in a booth
You’re from the future?:eek:
Dublin City Centre still has them, in fact it was only in recent years that 3rd party phonebooths were allowed and there seems to be the odd new one appearing. I think they often function nowadays as a means of sneaking advertising space into busy public areas.
