We saw this sad pay phone on our last trip to the river. There are several things of note here: the pole lying on the ground to the left of the phone used to upright on the right side to "protect" it, the base is somewhat twisted, and the receiver is perched on top of the remaining pole. You cannot tell from the picture, but the phone is located about 15 feet from a parking spot. Someone had to really gun it while leaving to do that kind of damage.

The pay phone is already an endangered species in the United States. It's heart wrenching to see the survivors being poached in such a brutal fashion. We checked to see if it was still alive, but sadly we were too late.
