I don't miss them either ... CD's are way better except when you are in a mischievous mood and want to hear the song played on 45 speed...

What's going to happen to all those wonderful red phone booths?

Not here in So Cal ... There are malls galore over here.

They are still available and some people still use them where broadband/high-speed internet is not available.

Yes indeed there are. Funny thing is, my daughter in law (who lived in OK until earlier this year) was astonished when we took her to the Ontario Mills Mall. She told us she's never seen so many people/stores, that mall had more people than the entire town population she's from, lol.

Ha....the calls used to be a dime. Then I read Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book", and it said that you could use a size #14 brass washer instead of the dime. So, naturally, me & friends went to hardware store to buy some of those washers. It worked.
The book had lots of questionable information, such as how to send letters for free .....

We still have pay phones in my small little town. And I'm not talking about in a hotel or on a train track or something, I'm talking about right there, on the side of the street. Lol.

Funny really, I'm shopping for a new turntable.

I don't miss the tangle of unspooled tape after a tape jammed in the player.
