Title: Public Phones In Downtown Youngstown
Post by: jay on April 06, 2010, 06:24:15 AM
While downtown last night, I man asked if I knew where he could find a public pay telephone.  I was stumped.  I knew were several outdoor pay phones had been located prior to the the removal of Federal Plaza.

Where are public pay phones located in downtown Youngstown?

I don't know if there are any pay phones left in downtown Youngstown. 

Many building owners removed them several years ago when the phone company made them start paying for the phones and cell phones started becoming more popular.  The phone company would give credit for each time the phones were used, but they weren't used often enough to offset the cost.  About ten years ago it would cost a building owner $55 a month to have a pay phone on their property.

the busstation does have pay phones. rushgal you better find out who is illegally parking so you can do a citizen arrest or issue an illegal parking ticket to these individuals who is blantly ignoring the civil laws of ytown. rushgal can you imagine how much monies that the city is losing due to these inconsiderate cussing @$^&*. these fines can hire l.5 police officiers. :-X

I have put up cameras in various locations through downtown to capture these illegal moves. It is unfortuante in todays society that people blatenly park where-ever they deem necessary. Let's remember this iwasthere--if it was not for the cameras placed all over downtown you would have cityhall workers running amuck..I am able to capture all parties involved in any illegal doings. 8) 8)
