- In the days of rotary dials and telephone booths,
When record players spun our favorite tunes,
We lived in a world of simpler delights,
Where social interactions reached new heights.
Phone booths stood as our meeting grounds,
Where secrets shared and love could be found.
With dimes in hand, we'd make our call,
Hoping our crush would answer, after all.
Record stores were our treasure troves,
Where music spoke in rhythms and grooves.
We'd flip through vinyl, searching for gold,
In melodies and lyrics, our stories told.
And drive-in theaters, under the stars,
Where romance blossomed in vintage cars.
With popcorn and soda, we'd share a scene,
In flickering lights, our hearts would glean.
But before the age of PC and net,
We found ways to connect, don't forget.
The party line, a makeshift stage,
For teenage hearts to engage.
Calling for time, a clever ploy,
To catch the eye of a potential joy.
Boys would shout their numbers loud,
Hoping girls would make them proud.
So here's to the days of phone booths and more,
Where connections were made, at every door.
In a world before social media's sway,
We found our love, in a simpler way.
Aww! I miss the dial telephone and being able to remember numbers of friends & relations 😔 So lazy now, can just about remember my mobile number✌️
I don’t miss the dial telephone phones. I wish I could remember peoples numbers and mine too😵👈
All come down to business
Wow those were the days. I remember in my early years of sales having to drive my car up to the phone booth were I could use it sitting in my car. 🚗
I also had an atlas the size of the front seat and heavy too 😂
Times have sure changed Airbaja. Love your poem❤!
Being a operator must have been a crazy job. Thanks for the great doors vids love your channel and the doors
Damn, I don’t know what’s up, but you keep out doing yourself every time!!! Another great one by you. Those pics are really cool specially, the one of the little girl holding the L.A. Woman album. I don’t have to tell you to keep up the good work because you already know that you will.🔥🔥🔥
fEEDBACK OF THE tHIRD KIND! Thanks DJ, THE NEXT IS THE BEST, WATCH IT AND WE'LL DO THE REST!
Telephones are one of those universally recognized objects that have helped man communicate with each other over the last hundred years even though most people need to work on their listening skills a lot more. In recent years phones have actually become a obstacle to learning in school class rooms, they are a distraction. I love the use of the telephone in comedies like the Naked Gun series , Pink Panther series, Airplane, and a lot of Mel Brookes creations. The British phone booths are collectors items now. I will always remember talking to Elizabeth Grant on a long distance phone call from the UK in 2010 before she changed her stage name to Lana Del Rey, it was like going on a blind date with someone you had never met, but through fiber optic cables.
Mesmerizing photos Baja. Loved it. Thx

Back at you Brother from another Mother..!
Buenas tardes, muy buenos recuerdos me traen las cabinas de teléfono, cuando hice el servicio militar en las islas canarias, todas las tardes hablaba con mi novia. Buenos recuerdos de juventud. Un saludo fuerte amigo. Paz
Gracias mi hermano, Te siento hermano wow no hay nada que hacer en Canarias excepto llamar a tu novia por teléfono, jiji
Beautiful nostalgia, loved it.
-only thing missing for me was Hunter Thompson screaming into a phone "I need a lawyer immediately!" -tho you're right, it probably doesn't fit.
No use fighting the whim of the great magnet.
What a fool I am : )
I miss the old days. I wish i could go back and stay in that America
All of these operators lost their job as technology advanced. I wonder if we are losing jobs or gaining jobs with technology. I miss the old days of young kids being able to work at gas stations.
I had the 1969 Ford van which was the first year that they put the nose out and moved the engine forward although it was still mostly inside the cab. I appreciate them better than these flat faced vans. My vans’ name was Evan.
In the spring of 1986, I had reason to call my home in Rialto California from Chiriaco Summit California. The public phone at the Chevron Gas Station alongside the westbound lanes of the I-10 had no rotary wheel or keypad. I literally had to provide my home phone number and wait to be instructed on how much money had to be deposited in the phone before the operator would complete the call.
I went to Glendora High, my best friend married a girl from Rialto..In addition I sent two glorious days at Chiriaco Summit at The Patton Museum. I EMCEED THE GROUND BREAKING AND THEN A YEAR LATER THE GRAND OPENING!
ONE COMMENT TOOK ME ON SUCH A JOURNEY, THANKS MY BROTHER, what a buzzz
@@Airbaja You're welcome. My high school's Football Field was renamed "Ronnie Lott Stadium" a few years before it was renovated into its current version. We have at least two other Superbowl Champions, a Olympic Gold Medal Speed Skater, at least one MLB baseball player, and a Two Time WWE Women's Champion in our Illustrious Alumni list.
Gawd I hated rotary phones. Even as a kid.
I can tell a lot of work went into this one, that's why I like it so much❤
