Abandoned phone booths

It's strange to call these things phone "booths" since there's very little that is "boothy" about them. They actually remind me of study carols from elementary school - three sides and the inability for someone to look at what you're doing straight on. Public phones seem to be disappearing. The cell phone has caused the demise of what was once a fairly ubiquitous convenience. It's unfortunate for those who don't have cell phones since they are left searching for a phone "booth" with an actual phone in it (Is this like a food desert in urban areas? A phone desert?). Many booths, few public phones. These pictures are companions to this one that I shot in Florida.
