    a dime

    My parents used to give me a dime to make a call home if I needed to from a phone booth. You could find a phone booth on every other corner. If it rained out I would duck into one to stay dry

    I still don't own a cell phone but they would be handy for a road trip but I figure if an emergency came up that everyone and their brother has one so I never had a need for one. Pay phones are almost a thing of the past but there are still a few around and they cost way too much.

    So true I've used a many of the phone from car pay phones when I was a teen a lot of the parking lots had 2 or 3 of them.
    Now you just don't see them around anymore and for good reason they got to make money to keep them operating and the cell phones took that away.
    Some change is good but some I'm not so sure about like the old drive in movies to me was the good ole days the kids now will never get to experience.

    I can't seem to find it. I would if I could. It got lost in the misc. dump. Maybe someone could help.
