Imagine my surprise when I spotted this classic phone booth on 35th Avenue in Astoria, Queens, on Election Day, November 4, 2008. Alas, this temporary phone booth was only a prop. The producers of the television show "Life on Mars" were filming at Sunswick 35/35, and this phone booth was part of the set they created. Still, it was kind of cool to see a real phone booth with a vintage rotary dial payphone out on the street.
