AT&T HANGS UP

THAT ONCE, SO FAMILIAR, GLASS BOX WILL SOON BE DISCONNECTED FROM OUR LOCAL STREET CORNER.

NOT THAT ANY OF THE PHONES ACTUALLY WORKED, BUT ON THOSE OCCASIONS THAT WE DUCKED INTO THE BOX TO ESCAPE THE ELEMENTS AND FELT FOR LOOSE CHANGE, THEY DID SERVE A PURPOSE, AFTER YOUR OLFACTORY NERVE ADJUSTED TO THE URINE AROMA.

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, SOME ENTREPRENEURS (AS PICTURED) ARE MIFFED OVER THE DECISION TO REMOVE THE BOOTHS AND ARE JOING FORCES WITH OTHER PIMPS AND DRUG DEALERS TO PROTEST.

AT&T CONTENDS THAT MOST SMALL BUSINESS' AND GANGSTERS NOW USE CELL PHONES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY BUY ONE OF THOSE FRIEND AND FAMILY PLANS.

IN ADDITION, AFTER THE BOOTHS ARE REMOVED, IT WILL FREE UP A GREAT DEAL OF GROUND SPACE THAT WILL PROVIDE A LARGER LIVING AREA FOR INNER CITY HOMELESS.

THE COMPANY MAY DONATE THE BOOTHS TO PEOPLE FACING FORECLOSURE AS TEMPORARY SHELTER, AS LONG AS THEY PAID THEIR LATEST PHONE BILL.
