(16,197 posts)1. NY did something pretty cool with some phone booths
Not many use them so instead the city found another way to use them that's pretty cool if you ask me:

That is a cool idea. Hard to believe twenty years makes it historical! A classic car 25 years old or more, an antique is 45 years old or more.
Are you a NYU graduate now?

Why can't we do this... we can. The problem is, there are two many people who would destroy them.. by either breaking them or writing all over them with magic marker, or spray paint. We can't have nice things here.. probably never will.
