OK, don't laugh, but I do know where there is a field with a bunch of old phone booths, the aluminum ones:D He use to sell em for $50 a pop.

A complete working booth with lights in the corner of the garage would be cool.

Our local Elks lodge still has the original wooden phone booth from the 20's, when the building was constructed. Now the guys take their cell phones in to make calls away from the barroom noise.

Are you an elk? Is it true that the secret elk signal is to put your thumbs on your temples with your fingers fanned out like elk horns? Cuz if it is, its not very secret anymore.

Do you still get 50 cent beers?

A friend of my dads had one of those. He backed up to it one night in his bagged Datsun and threw a chain around it and drove away....

Those old aluminum and glass urinals were really cool.

Is there any way to distinguish the urinal version from the vomitorium?

Same here and young kids marvel at the thing. Mine is old enough to have a fabric covered cord on it and that just blows them away.

We have a rotary phone...During the blackout in NYC (2004 I think?) It was the only way to make a phone call. Since all modern phones need to be plugged into an outlet in order to get a dial tone.

But since we actually no longer have a 'land line' it's mostly decorative.

I haven't been "dropped off" anywhere since I was 15!

probably because you have a decent supply of parking spaces where you live?
