I was telling my daughter about operators and how you could calll someone collect if they would accept the charges.

I remember moving away and being unable to talk to my friends because long distance was too expensive.

A local radio station put out a challenge for callers to find a pay phone in the city and call in for a prize. They were surprised there were any left. One caller found one at a gas station, and another at a park and ride for our bus system.

I was surprised there were any too.
