Putting Columbia\\u2019s Pay Phone Mystery to Rest 

By Emerald O\\u2019Brien for KBIA in Columbia Missouri (2016) 

Payphones went from being a staple of many people\\u2019s daily lives to nearly completely antiquated in a matter of decades. This is true in Columbia, too \\u2013 with only a couple dozen phones still standing.
