Phone bank

Someday, I will have to explain to my grandchildren what a pay phone was (an perhaps even what a landline was). Here I have photographic evidence. I'll bet the yellow handset has some significance, but I don't know what.

SONY SLT-A77V 2/5 seconds F/8.0 ISO 1600 42 mm (35mm equiv.)

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

That is such a story that modern-day young people may not understand. One news item was how to teach young people who came to work hard to use the landline phone separately.
