There used to be 4 Verizon payphones here. Now there is only one PTS payphone. Whoever removed the old payphones may not have done the most elegant job, but I appreciate the ruggedness of the exposed cinder block wall behind the paint. The increasingly old-fashioned wire of the land line is also a beautiful sight. As seen in the next picture, the future for this payphone is not promising. The owners of the Pathmark store in which this payphone resides announced its closing date of August 25, 2012.

This old payphone at the soon-to-be-closed Pathmark on Northern Boulevard still has vestiges of the old Bell Atlantic logo on its side.

He has trouble seeing the touch-tone number pad.
Hipsters with laptops still use payphones.
I wish I had my better photo gear on me when I spotted this fellow using a payphone with his laptop in front of him. At first I thought this seemed incongruous. I thought he was checking his e-mail from a payphone, which is still not possible as far as I know. I soon deduced that this dude had probably lost his cell phone, kept his phone book on his laptop, and used the laptop as his phone book to look up some numbers and make some calls.

This old wood phone booth housed a fully-functional rotary dial payphone until early 2009. Today it is used for cell-phone calls and as a storage closet. The old booth still receives regular deliveries of phone books.

The placard on this payphone identified its phone number as (308) 762-9906. Lies! The 308 area code is from Alliance, Nebraska - home of Carhenge. This payphone was evidently relocated from Alliance to Maspeth, Queens, New York.

The original listing of 212-246-8369 at the Payphone Project showed this subway payphone as being at 370 Jay Street in Brooklyn. That information reflected the location of the Metropolitan Transit Authority's administrative offices. The MTA no longer occupies that building. Calls made from this PTS payphone today would likely show up with fake caller ID, showing the Las Vegas telephone number 702-992-9550.
