Searching CSI’s MasterFormat 2011 Update for something the other day, I came across a product I haven’t had occasion to specify for many years - telephone booths. MasterFormat calls them telephone enclosures, but everyone else calls them telephone booths.
The near universality of personal cell phones has made them obsolete. I can’t remember the last time I saw one.
Good thing Superman is just a fictional character.
I have started taking photos of places in buildings where there used to be a phone, but now there is an empty space because the spot was only suitable for phones.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I couldn't think of something else to fit into those spaces...
Abandoned railroad rights-of-way have been turned into bicycle paths, and in urban situations, linear parks.
ReplyDeleteSeems as though there should be a way to "repurpose" those niches where phone booths used to be.
Maybe use them for seating for people checking their cell phones?
