The Vanishing Payphones of Crystal City

I suppose this ties into both Suki series, since I never mention a payphone in either.  In the draft for the second Suki With A Twist story I mention landline phones in a hotels.  I recall people my age complaining about disappearing payphones a few years ago, but have not heard much about it lately.  For the geomapped versions of these pictures in higher resolution, click the link below each one.

All of the locations are in the Crystal City Underground.  The maps show the approximate position of the camera's corresponding "above ground" location.

These may be the only payphones left in the Crysral City Underground.

This was a surprise. The phones were next to that bench.

This was a huge surprise.  People used the payphones that were here all of the time.

The payphones that were here have been gone for quite a while.

On the north end, the food court is gone along with the phones.

The wood paneled wall is where the payphones were here.

There is one more location I need to shoot, by the old food court.  The last two images above are from the north end.  There are two remaining payphones closer to the METRO, behind the security desk at the public restrooms across from Dunkin' Donuts.
