A FUN FILLED STORY OF HOW I AQUIRRED NOT ONE, BUT TWO ANTIQUE 2000 LB. BRITISH PHONE BOOTHS FROM THE LADY LUCK CASINO LAS VEGAS. THE PURCHASING DEPT. CALLED MY STORE AND ASKED IF WANTED TO BUY THEIR GIANT SLOT MACHINE WHICH I DID ... 2 DAYS LATER THE WHSE. MANAGER CALLED ME TO SEE IF I ALSO WANTED THEIR TWO BRITISH TELEPHONE BOOTHS THAT THEY USED IN THE PROMO DEPT. FOR FREE PHONE CALLS. OF COURSE I JUMPED ON IT .... BUT HOW DO YOU MOVE THESE MONSTERS ... THE WORLDS LARGEST SLOT MACHINE ...AND 2 HUGH CAST IRON BOOTHS? SIMPLE GET 10 HOMELESS GUYS WHO ARE THIRSTY AND A U-HAUL TRUCK! ... I FIRST HAD THE PHONE BOOTHS AT MY OLD ANTIQUE MALL AT 500 MAIN ST. ALONG WITH THE BIG SLOT MACHINE UP ON THE ROOF. WELL I HAD TO MOVE THEM ALL AGAIN WHEN THE CITY BOUGHT THE BUILDING FOR THE NEW CITY HALL. I TOOK ONE BOOTH TO MY NEW STORE ON LAS VEGAS BLVD. AND THE OTHER WENT TO MY LITTLE PLACE IN PAHRUMP, NV.

NOW THE GOOD PART ... THE NEW CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT MGR. DID NOT LIKE THE PHONE BOOTH IN FRONT OF MY STORE ... SO I PUT IT ON EBAY AND A CC>CC MEMBER (BRENT JENSEN R-8007) PURCHASED IT ... HE PAID ME TO DELIVER IT TO SALT LAKE CITY. WELL I THOUGHT HE WANTED IT FOR HIS MAN CAVE BECAUSE IT HAS THE LADY LUCK SIGNS ON THE TOP ETC. HE SENT MY PICTURES OF THE RESTORED & BEAUTIFULLY MODIFIED PHONE BOOTH. BRENT AT HIS OWN EXPENSE BUILT A FREE LITTLE SELF SERVE LIBRARY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD & KIDS TO USE (see photos) ... WHAT A GREAT UNIQUE IDEA ... HIS GENEROUSTY TO HIS COMMUNITY IS AWSOME! BRENT I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME POSTING YOUR STORY ... YOU TRULY ARE AN ASSET BOTH TO OUR CLUB & YOUR TOWN ... TAKE CARE ... & THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR READING THE TRAVELING TELEPHONE BOOTH STORY! I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO REDUCE THOSE BIG PICTURES ...... TAKE CARE ... RICH BURGEL
