I don't think the 30 year olds on this forum have any idea what it was like to have phone booths everywhere.   You could walk inside one, and it even had this thing called a "telephone book" which was kind of like a contacts list for your whole town or city.   Everyone's name, phone number  and even address was published there.

You always had to carry some quarters and dimes in case you needed to make an emergency phone call.  It was like being sure your cell phone was charged.

Sometimes assholes cut the cord to the phone though and that was sad.[/quote]

Or stole the phone book.

But yes, there were pay phones everywhere.[/quote]

I am 46 and there were not payphones everywhere. You act like they were on every corner of every neighborhood and in random grass fields.  They were in urban areas and places of business. That is it. [/quote]

There were pay phones at parks, public facilities (like pools), stores, gas stations, movie theaters...Was there a pay phone in front of your friend's split-level house on a cul-de-sac? Maybe not. But there were pay phones all over.

There were blue US Postal Service mailboxes all over, too.[/quote]
