    Neato. Out of all of those I passed in my travels, the last one I could tell you the location of off the top of my head was this one, but I notice that as of this year it’s also gone. If you check the latest Street View image you’ll see the cables dangling from where it used to be. There ain’t no hooking this one back up, alas, unless you bring your own.

    Note the horse and buggy. Where we are standing is indeed out in the sticks.

    I was in a random diner somewhere in Appalachia this year which had a functioning payphone and one of those old pull-knob cigarette vending machines in the back. I don’t recall exactly where it was. I should have taken a picture or written it down.
