I stepped away from shooting this payphone & the guy pictured above walked up to it & checked out the wires —– possibly looking for valuable copper wire…..???

While shooting these pics I was approached by a gentleman waiting for his car to be serviced.  He asked what I was shooting & when I told him he let me know his past payphone story — he had owned a restaurant & had a payphone inside whose owners paid him a percentage each month of what they made.  He said the highest it got was $200 – $300 per month & then slowly but surely decreased until they ultimately asked him to pay them for their ‘services’…
