Exactly the same location as 10:32 PDT Durga from the original axons which never went hot.
Just seems funny to use an axon that did not go hot the first time around twice in the new ones.

That one's out in the middle of nowhere on the alaska panhandle.
But I still haven't seen one in Canada, damn it.

Moving here at the request of Fireball.
I created a document (attached below) with all the axon coordinates, in order, with a column to mark which ones are 'hot'. This document could be intergrated in with DarkForge's document which includes maps, states, and such. It's just a handy little thing I am going to mark off as places go active so we can stay up to date. As things move on I'll edit this post with updates to the file.
I'll even put the date in American format.

Boise ID reporting for duty:
code_nothing 43.569230 -116.214455 9:29 PDT is an axon that was cancelled previously. It was the 11:53 pillow in Boise ID from the links axons that I posted here the incorrect phone # and then the correct one. I alos sent the correct phone # into the payphone-directory and it has been updated there. So it appears that Melissa is paying attention to us. We'll know for sure if I can make that one go hot today.
visa 43.605803 -116.211713 12:17 PDT is the Boise Pizza Hut. I don't believe I can make this one today, but I'll see about getting another person there, or I'll call the waitresses once we have the correct "answer" figured out and have one of them answer the phone.
miracles 43.619605 -116.235008 14:11PDT. Looks like I got rewarded with another axon for all my hard work last time. Using http://payphone-directory.org/payid.html and http://www.geocode.com/modules.php?name=TestDrive_Eagle (which worked perfectly for all Boise, ID locations last time around) the Doubletree Hotel at 2900 Chinden Blvd matches the coordinates exactly. There are 3 phones listed there (hopefully all together). I'll see if I can make this one today also.
Boise out!

*checks list* ...well, that puts the closest in Upper Detroit.
I guess it could be worse.
...no, wait, we're talking about leaving the safety of your car in Detroit to go stand at a payphone.
I guess we'll see....

I know, I think I'm going to petition Bungie/Microsoft to put one in St. John's... Where do you want one? I'll include that in my letter as well.

I don't guess we know for sure if we are going to be asked the same question as before. I hope it is the same question. I will try to go to the (blue_then_red) 06:59 PDT 35.074196 -089.919320 axon.
I guess I need to come up with another excuse to leave work for a few minutes.

Another repeated location that didn't go hot before has been brought to my attention in #beekeepers by michael:
"The previous 8:51 in Madison WI never went hot but the coord is up again for 7:29."

Details on MA locations. Using the Payphone Directory and the geocode site - then doublechecked against RandMcNally:
Brockton, MA:
508-583-9813...Dairy Queen...................344 Belmont St
Could be the Dairy Queen itself and not a payphone outside - like the locations in Hyannis, MA.
Braintree, MA:
Most likely in the south shore mall.
I just hope that it's actual payphones
---------------------------
I feel kinda bad. When we got the shift supervisors at McDonalds to cooperate, we told them that the phone wouldn't ring again - but if all the ones that wen't hot before have gone hot again ...

Only one in Kissimmee this time around (13:13 - standard_procedure). However, it is one millionth point different in both latitute and longitude from a previous non-hot axon. Not enough to move it to another location.
Now I have to decide if it was a typo, and it's still pointing to that person's home phone (whom I never coached to answer the call correctly based on a hunch this might happen), or it's indicating that someone noticed my complaint that the number has changed, and it's back at the McDonald's.
Add to that, do I want to leave work early to do this, when I've already taken quite a bit of time off work for the last round with no results? Guess I have time to figure it out.

The one in Emmaus PA -
13:01 PDT 40.55591 -75.4895 Emmaus Pennsylvania
is only a few miles from my house, although I'd have to juggle things around to try and get there.
The problem is that location is the entrance to the South Mall which has numerous phone locations inside and in the general vicinty of it. I don't think one person could even try and man these by him or herself.
This location is less than 7 minutes from my work. Im going to scout it out on my lunchbreak and I'll be there when it goes live.
Cabal, send me a PM if you want to coordinate.
