Recalling the Days of Pay Phones and Phone Booths.

from The Baby Boomer Radio, TV, Movies, Magazines, Music, Comics, Fads, Toys, Fun, and More Show! · host Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, the Galaxy Guys recall the days of the pay phone and phone booths. Remember the days when you could find a pay phone just about anywhere and the calls cost a dime? Now in the days of cell phones and personal communication devices, the pay phone has become a rare sight in our cities and towns. Though you can still find some around, they no longer cost a dime, and the golden era of these phones is over. We also look back at the cultural side of these phones, such as how many people could you stuff in a phone booth to the great motion pictures of the past that featured someone talking in a phone booth as part of the storyline. Once a necessary tool for daily life, now a rare sight, listen in and recall your favorite pay phone memories. Our Retro-Commercial is from AT&T urging you to "Reach Out and touch Someone". Join us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
