Lisa Goodwin+FollowThis Is What Calling Home Looked Like in the 1980s 😄The girl standing is wearing a Boston College sweatshirt from the Cotton Bowl. The quarterback was a guy named Doug Flutie and he led them there in 1985. So you know this picture is at least from then or later. You can also tell by their hair and clothing that this is definitely the late 1980s. It reminds me of a time when you had to share a phone line or maybe even wait for a turn to call home. 😊 #1980s #Nostalgia #Retro #CollegeLife #Dorms #Throwback #80sFashion #VintagePhotos #Payphone 80Share
vincentwilson+FollowMackinac Island’s secret payphone still works!Stumbling across a working payphone on Mackinac Island feels like finding a time capsule in the wild. Tucked away near the west side restrooms, this relic actually has a dial tone and lets you make calls for just 50¢—a rare sight in a world where almost everyone has a cellphone. Some folks have even accidentally called 911, not realizing it’s fully functional! It’s wild to think this payphone, marked by Michigan Bell, has probably been here for nearly 40 years. Would you use it, or is it just a quirky piece of history to you? #Tech #MackinacIsland #Payphone00Share
