Okay, a little math here and some imagination… 16,000 people in the county. If 15% per day drive by my house that’s 2400 people with the potential need to make a call, of which 93% will have coverage, leaving 168 without coverage. Probably 0% tgat woukd need to make an emergency call… which means… uh. No. There is not logical reason to have a phone booth at $1,200. I was hoping for one that was more in the range of $500. Like, we’ll give you $500 to haul this thing off. Thank you. At least now I don’t want one anymore… You could check out some bad neighborhoods in Denver where they are more likely to be unremoved. Just bring some tools and help bump up the crime rate. Denver is too far. Probably can find one in Pueblo somewhere. “Hey, you! Dats my office phone!”… |

Thank goodness. Chapman was warming. Can you imagine that if he was having one of those wild days and had to face three batters? …

Probably can find one in Pueblo somewhere. “Hey, you! Dats my office phone!”… According to The Payphone Project, there are plenty if payphones in Pueblo, although it doesn't specify if they are in booths or merely wall-mounted. At least nine of them are at Loaf and Jug shops. Maybe worth a look-see. |

Plenty for sale on ebay. Typically around $1,100 -$1,200. You could recoup that quickly from customers if you live outside of cell range.

Set up a slot machine inside the old telephone booth. You'll make your money back in no time. |

Phew. Magic number is Bambino 3. One of the all-time great sports photos. At Babe's last appearance at the house he built, not long before he died. The photographer said everyone else was shooting from the front and he thought he might as well try something different. Boy did he get it right. |

Pretty good outfield: Combs (CF) Ruth (LF) and Meusel (RF) for a game in 1928.  |

At least nine of them are at Loaf and Jug shops. Maybe worth a look-see. Pretty sure they’re just wall-mounted. I’m not much of a Loaf and Jug kind of guy. They seem to be working hard to keep the gas prices up in Pueblo. Plus, when you go inside the concept is typical C-Store. Two products tgat don’t have much of the shelf space are milk and bread, which strikes me as odd. Over all, I prefer our other chain, Kum and Go. They do have public restrooms. I’m not sure about the rumored brothels… |
