You guys have way nicer booths than we used to have here.

Haha this one is tucked away, hidden in the corner of this alleyway. The city is really neat, because it has lots of little back alleys with shops and things, like in our China town there are a lot of them. But I find them really endearing, because some of them, like this one, you need to know where they are to get there.

It's like finding a secret item in a video game
We used to have a similar thing with this one park in town. Literally nobody knew it still existed because it was hidden behind an abandoned library and the police station/borough building. It was finally renovated a few years ago and now you can actually see it from the street but before that it was kind of like the town secret and mostly kids from high school hung out there.Β

Oh! Thatβs super neat. I think finding little hidden gems like these around the city adds to the character of it.

Yeah it was cool. it's really nice looking now. Sometimes I go down there and ride my bike around the jogging track
I know, it's nice finding little spots like that

Very neat.
I actually noticed there is another phone booth out in my area, by a pub. It's funny, I drive by the place almost daily (though sometimes in the dark of night, so that definitely doesn't help my cause), and I had never noticed it was there until recently. Either that, or it never really registered.

It's just amazing you guys still have those. A phone booth is so rare here now it's ridiculous. It seems like payphones in general vanished overnight here once cell phones became the thing.Β

Yeah, I know. I donβt see them often, even payphones are really hard to come by. We have one in the ER of the hospital I work in, but otherwise, I donβt think I can recall an area that has payphones...maybe a mall somewhere?

It's been so long since I've been to a mall I'm not sure what they have anymore.

At this point I online shop for like 90% of what I buy.

Yeah same here. It saves so much time.

still it makes me sad that stores I grew up shopping at are vanishing. Like the thing they are saying now is Toys R Us is shutting down across the country and that was a huge part of my childhood.Β

Yeah, that's true.Β
Funny though, they tried to bring Target here, and apparently people just hated the quality of items, so it got shut down pretty quickly.Β

Target took a huge hit in my area because it was apparently hit by hackers and lots of people's credit card info got robbed. Personally I rarely go there but if I do I pay cash

Oh boy. That sounds awful.
Funny enough, this one guy around town here was counterfeiting small bills ($10 and $5) and using them all over the place, mostly to buy lotto tickets. He was recently caught. But the irony is kind of amusing.

Yeah it sucks.Β That's hilarious. Someone was doing a similar thing here where they were putting counterfeit 1 and 5 dollar bills into change machines to get the quarters and then they'd take the quarters and get them turned into paper money at local stores or the banks and they got caught.Β
If they weren't such greedy idiots they could have just took all the change to a CoinStar machine and it wouldn't have aroused any suspicion.Β

Hah, really? Thatβs funny.
Itβs bizarre the things people come up with.

Yeah it was great
I know, there's always someone coming up with a scam like that.Β

Victoria, actually.

No problem
The Victorian comment is spot on though! The city is named after the queen, and we still have a lot of old heritage buildings in the Victorian style.
