I think I found a hit for the 13:38 stupid_cop axon in Bethel Park, PA. It was reported that there wasn't a payphone around, but I did a little research and found that there's a church at the exact coords using www.melissadata.com. I used www.superpages.com to give me a listing of what was located on that street, and the church came up. I punched it into MelissaDATA's address lookup and it listed the coords down to the point. (By the way, melissadata has free address lookups in case you hit your limit at geocode.com.) The only thing is, geocode.com gave me different coords when I used the address. But since MelissaDATA came up matching to the sixth decimal I'm assuming it's correct.

I can't actually get to that location until the 31st, but if it's not hot by then I'll try my best to be there. I just hope it's not the church's personal phoneline. It would be ackward asking if you could sit in front of it and wait for a website to call you.. but an axon's an axon. Here's the address if anyone needs it:

Bethel Baptist Church
2899 Cherry St
Bethel Park PA 15102

PM me if you'd like to get together for this or if you can try to fire it sooner than Wednesday.

This actually generates a number very near the Bob Evans I am going to try for the 8:19 PDT call today (after rounding, out to 4 digits). Fingers crossed!

edit: spoke too quickly. Two phones (with some rounding) generate coordinates too close; perhaps even closer to the one that has trouble with incoming calls.

I'm trying Cottondale 06:47 this Tuesday, baring any coordinate changes. If anyone has any extra info on this axon, lemmie know

I tried like hell to reach the Spencer, WV location today, and I think I found the phone, but -- assuming the phone accepts incoming calls -- I missed it by about three minutes.

I may try again this week if it doesn't go hot soon.

Thanks space, for giving me the best laugh of the week.

SPEC on 16:47 Palo Alto Axon (AKA Menlo Park {though not})

Now, re /me looking for missing axons. I'm done. I tried the two I planned for today, third time for each location. Enough. There are still many possibilities in the Dale City area (at least 57 in the mall alone for that one axon), for anyone foolish enough to take on this task. Melissa is going to have to find axons someplace else.

I do not believe we can totally depend on payphone-directory.org

I went and payed a visit to the Layton Hills Mall. There were 6 more phones than the four on the website. Only two recieved incoming calls.

I asked someone at the customer sevice desk in mervins if they could answer the phone if it rang while I went and waited by another phone. Next thing I know I'm in the mall security office being interrogated by two police officers as to what the crap I was doing waiting for an incoming call from a payphone in the middle of a mall.

But this is what's weird. As I came back to the payphoen by the desk in mervin's the lady I talked to was walking away from the payphone, looked at me and hurried into the back room. I told her I'd explain -why- I wanted her to answer the phone. I walked up to another lady behind the counter and asked her if it rang, she only shook her head.

Then I realized that they called security on me. I waited on a bench till they approached me. I'm thinking that that might be the phone, but I'm not sure. They said that if they caught anyone on mall property trying to find an incoming call from a payphone for the same reasons I was that they'd have them escorted off premises.

I think the phone is in the mall, but I can't go back or I might get arrested. Fortunately for me, the officer took everything I said seriously and understood half of it. We went out to his car and I showed him the ilovebees.com on his computer, which helped out a ton in my case.

So be warned, don't look 'suspicious' around payphone locations that may be in a mall, especially Layton Hills. But the phone still needs to be answered. I wish you all luck.

I checked that pay phone site, and it's by no means comprehensive. It's better than nothing, but not much.
