re: #223 Dr Lizardo

The last public phonebooth in Czech Republic was removed in the summer of 2021; it was in the southern district of Prague and according to O2, who owned it, it hadn’t been used for four years at that point.

There was a phonebooth down the street from me here, and it was removed in 2017. It wasn’t even functional, just hopelessly vandalized. I’ve heard rumors that there’s still a functioning payphone at the main City Hall downtown, but I haven’t had time to run down there and see if it’s there. I do know the paternoster elevator is still in operation, though.

My friend’s little hole-in-the-wall bar still has the very old, wooden payphone closet. The payphone has been gone for years but people still use the closet because they can close the door and it is fairly quiet from the music and people talking to use your cell.
