R.I.P. This phone, once located across from Central Park and next to Crepeville, sat in the little park with the huge tree. The phone was around for a while and removed some time in late April of 2006. The phone number was (530) 757-9722.
While it's sitting in a parkish area, the phone isn't secluded. Your calls will be brushed by numerous pedestrians on this busy street Downtown.
The spot the phone once was.
This phone rang while my friends and I were walking past. Naturally we picked it up and pretended we were at a pizza restaurant. We walked by it again on a different day and it rang again! Sadly the third time we walked by it did not, and honestly, we were all a bit disappointed.
Teens from the Teen Center used to sit around in view of the pay phone and watch as people picked up their prank calls. It was sort of a fun way to pass their afternoon. As an employee I never stopped them because in a juvenile way, it was usually pretty funny!
