Moonie's Not So Secret Diary

Vintage Phone Booths

I love Vintage Phone Booths

You know the kind, or maybe not. The ones I remember seeing in New York city were beautiful. Those were gleaming, gorgeous, mahogany with glass windows in the door. They seemed to be 8 foot tall.

You open the accordion-like door, take a seat, and close the door for privacy. There's also a light at the top.

I remember seeing a wall of them outside in front of some stores. The chill in the air, plus my urge to sit down inside one caused me to step forward. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. Somebody pulled me out of it before I could even take a seat. Bummer.


Such is life, but even now, I can picture them. I'd never seen anything like it. They are now so rare that they sell for thousands of dollars.

I imagine that having one in your home would be cool, as once you get inside your conversation is private.

It's so unlike today's phones, where everyone can hear everyone else's conversations, even if you wish you couldn't.

I hope some day they can bring some back, yet I doubt it. Right now, I wish I had a good picture of them in use. I want to do some artwork with it.

I'm also fond of the usual plug-in type phones. At least I never lost my phone with those.

How do you lose an 8 foot tall wood phone booth? Haha.

Well, maybe if it was a TARDIS, right?

What do ya think?
