Illinois (618)
by Area Code: 217-309-312-618-630-708-773-815-847
Mount Vernon,IL  
Payphone is located 
inside a red-neck 
country bar.  
Name is "SomePlace Else Bar"          (618) 242-9649
		Phone has an extension behind 
		the bar so the bartenders can 
		answer if no one else seems 
		interested in it. 

		So if you call and someone 
		answers "SomePlace Else"  
		It isn't a business phone, 
		the 'tenders  just picked 
		up the extension.   

		Bar  is open noon to 
		midnight mon-thurs, 
		9:30 am to 2am fri-sat, 
		and noon to 10pm on sunday.  

		From an hour after opening 
		till a little after close, 
		there is always a drunk 
		loser or two there.  

		Fri and Sat from 8pm till 
		close there are country 
		bands who  play louder 
		than most metal bands so 
		calling then is a waste of 
		time, they usually can't 
		hear the phone ring because 
		it is right next to the stage 
		and usually behind an 
		   amp or two.  

		Though the bands usually 
		break for 20 or 25 min. 
		at a stretch.
