Photos snapped during a stroll thru Cameron Village (opened in October 1949) the oldest shopping center in Raleigh.
This is the same shopping center from last week's Cafe Carolina Review HERE
I shared many of the new things happening to spruce up this 75 year old shopping center.
It is within 2 miles of NCSU aka Wolf Pack Country's campus. I'm not sure what the purpose is but FOR SURE IT IS FUN. So many young folks have never seen a pay phone.
Maybe it is for selfies.

This colorful display sits by the phone booth.

Goodnight's Comedy Club was the first comedy club in Raleigh. Many years ago we saw many up and coming comedians. Even Ray Ramona (aka star of TV's
Everybody loves Raymond) made several appearances at Goodnight's.
Our daughter and then beau (now husband) saw his routine.
It has moved from the original location to Cameron Village
Happy Tuesday indeed.
That's a very pretty phone installation. Did you try making a call?
ReplyDeleteoooh a phone booth!! that is like a greeting from the past... or a phone call from a long forgotten time ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat telephone box looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe old phone booth looks like those one would see in England (bright red!) ... very pretty ...

ReplyDeleteI agree, the booth takes the biscuit!!! YAM xx
Love that phone booth. That looks like a fun place.
ReplyDeleteI love that phone booth! Very creative and pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe telephone booth is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it! the phone booth and would have had to take a selfie or find someone to take one of me in it. I looked up the phone number, to see what it means and found its the NO football team. I am happy to hear they are saving the old mall. Ours was built in 1970 and now sits on 7 acres of concrete with chains on the doors and just going to rack and ruin... there has to be something they can put in that old beautiful building
ReplyDeleteThe telephone booth was a real eye catcher. It's nice to see that people get creative.
ReplyDeleteI think Cameron Village is a treasure.The phone booth is a great color!
ReplyDeleteFinding a payphone or a phone booth is always a cool thing, but most of them, if you can even find them are in terrible shape. We love that they kept this one and it seems to be well kept. The younger generation doesn't even know what it is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute part of your city you found. Not only is a phone booth a novel thing but it has a rotary dial and not push buttons!
ReplyDeleteThat phone booth is so cool, you don't ever see those around here anymore!
ReplyDeleteI see your favorite color all over that phone booth.
ReplyDeletePhone Reminds me of the Bubble Room on Captiva FL ~ very colorful post ~ happy, indeed ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Angel Madi ~ ^_^

what a neat place! the phone booth reminded me of the phones you could call
ReplyDeleteon, that were in some states, on the interstate, in case you had car trouble’s etc.
the collage of the different photos is cool too ‼️😺🧡🤎💛
Very Happy...I really like that phone booth too, and would definitely use it as a selfie background!
ReplyDeletehugs,

The red phone booth looks a lot like the one Mom has in her Christmas Dept. 56 Dickens Village collection. But not as nicely decorated. Bet that red caught YOUR eye.

What a great place for a walk! I'll bet there are plenty of great sights and fun places to visit.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place. XO
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully that phone booth is fixed up! It ages me to say I used to use phone booths, so I won't say it, LOL Growing up, my next door neighbors were the Goodnights. Very hillbilly in a non-hillbilly city. I have lots of memories of them and their Collie Lassie and tiger cat Spooky.
ReplyDeleteIt's a TARDIS built to go back in time to and bring back Jim Valvano
ReplyDeleteI still swear and be darned! One day I have to see Raleigh. I LOVE that phone booth!
