🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 What's something that's disappeared over the last quarter of a century that's largely gone unnoticed?

I've been chatting with @Krimson and he mentioned his camping trip. It brought one I took back to mind and something we noticed on the drive there and back.

No bugs on the windshields on a longer road trip.

Pay phones have gone extinct. How long ago?

Did you try it to see if it works? Do you know of anymore anywhere?
That one don't look right.

I don't know. A friend of mine sent me the image.

I know of one other one (or at least it used to be there) that's in an Exxon station. I only pull into that lot when I'm buying spices but I'll look next time.

The same guy told me he'd seen a website that listed where pay phones were...he said he thought the map was on Insta. I didn't look to see.

I goggle it and this is what I found I'm only listing the one here in Alabama.

AAA TripTiks and road maps in general. Really miss the TripTiks.

I would bet that if you go looking for these phones, a working phone will be hard to find.

I had a AAA membership, and I'd go up to their location in Buckhead ahead of my folks' vacations and get all the printed stuff for them, including triptiks. They loved them. Mapquest killed them.
