Remember when you could make a phone call from a telephone booth for 25 cents. It is amazing how technology have progressed. Makes you say WOW!

It's so rare to even find a pay phone nowadays. Crazy.

I remember phone booths. They were on every corner or so it seemed. Now we all have cell phones and can call from almost anywhere.
