The Last Phone Booths of Manhattan

Image...
Only four full-fledged outdoor phone booths exist in Manhattan today it seems. We're talking Superman Approved™ phone booths here, the walled kind with doors, so forget about those open air jobs. With only four left, where do all the Manhattanite homeless go to poop?

    Four? FOUR??!! Wow.

    I untagged this from "tech" since it's not all that technical (just the opposite, actually) but your other tags are great!

    thanks,

    I agree this should have a tech tag.

    Away from the booth aspect, I was in a retail mall the other day and notice the location that used to house about 15 pay phones was now just covered in sheet metal. Depressing isn't it? What happens when we get hit by a nuke or bomb that knocks out our electronic devices? Everybody would be totally lost and wishing they had a land line.
