If you ask a teenager or 20 something today if they knew what one of these communication devices was, what would they say? Yeah, I could imagine there would definitely be a ton of blank stares as this popped up on a projector screen. This might even be worthy of antique status as we kick off a new decade. I used to love making phone calls on this thing from the bowling alley as a kid. If I remember right the ones in airports were much fancier. Enjoy taking a trip down memory lane this evening! 😉
FYI - According to some news outlet in 2018, there were about 100,000 of these still around.
Early one August evening on the way to Cookeville, TN, I decided to stop by Percy Warner Park to go for a run. I didn't judge my timing very well as darkness was quickly approaching but I did manage to find this antique sitting outside of the entrance to the park. I was really surprised considering the entrance is located in the Belle Meade neighborhood, a pretty affluent community located outside of this beautiful city park.
COMING TOMORROW - I will be reviewing one of my new (to me) favorite restaurants in the Shelby County area.
