Wooden Phone Booth Sighting: King Yum


At King Yum, the 57-year-old Chinese tiki joint, two wooden phone booths, just inside the door. As is sadly more and more the case these days, they are non-functioning. The phones have been removed. But these may be the one wooden phone booths in town that are lined with bamboo.

whats also sad is how the old bell logo is covered by the ghastly verizon logo

even worse than no phones, why did verizon put those stickers over the old signs?? were these booths actually functioning during the verizon days?

Agreed.

Hazarding a guess, based on how Verizon has been yanking out phone booth phones only in the last year or so, I would say yes, the phones worked during Verizon days.

begs that question that if those are just Verizon stickers - someone should peel them off. :)
