Throwback Thursday: Remember pay phones?
They used to be on almost every block, evolving from glass-walled booths to stand-alone phones such as this. When this Sept. 7, 2001 photo was taken, a pedestrian was passing a Verizon pay phone in Boston. At the time, Verizon Communications Inc. was about to raise the price of a local call from 35 cents to 50 cents. There are still some pay phones in Boston, though rare, and a sighting makes for a throwback celebration.(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)
