15 miles off the interstate in the midst of the Mojave Desert sat a telephone booth. As the story goes, this phone booth was put there during World War II for use of a nearby mine that ceased operations in the 1960s. For some odd reason, it has not been decommissioned until recently. The obvious question, of course, is "Why did anyone use it?" And if so, what kind of person would use it?
That's what Doc wanted to find out. He's conducted seven interviews with folks who have answered that phone. Here, for all to see, is a collection of transcripts of those interviews. In this, an array of interesting personalities come forth.
In the end, this isn't so much about the phone booth per se but the folks who feel the need to use the phone booth. There's nothing like it.
