Smithsonian - left hand phone as you face the maps.

Vermont - Tom as long as you're moving at night it's probaby not too dangerous, but people get mugged at that hour, and that's also sometimes hooker country at night. So be safe.

Conn&K is safer - more just the homeless guys who camp out at this phone, but even there the pedestrian traffic is pretty light so again be watchful.

Araden - we know exactly where these phones are. Do not reinvent the wheel. Look up this thread for links to Chappy's page - it has the exact locations and consolidated map info and a description of exactly which phone it is (there's multiple phones some places). He may not have updated the times and axon order to the new list but the location info is ALL YOU NEED. If you looked at Cortana's xls doc, some of those were mislabelled - look at the one I posted. Those have the consistent names for all the axons we have been working and which are tracked on Chappy's page.

I'm not trying to reinvent anything, i was just making it known that I was available for those axons, all about coordinating available resources


Was reacting to this, which implied you were starting from scratch instead of using Chappy's resources:

Cortana, please let me get the Washington Harbour one, since that is the only one I can routinely get, and I always have hope that it will be a live call.

You're both missing the point. I do not want some random lurker in these forums, particularly a kid or a woman, to head for phones in less safe areas without some idea of what they're getting into. With that concern, having someone declare here that Conn&K at night is no problem IS a problem.

So I provide valid information. Washington Harbor at 5 PM is not an issue. Conn&K at 8:30 at night is. It isn't the worst neighborhood or even particularly bad but it is not as good. People get mugged on occasion. The pedestrian level is very low at that point. I didn't get specific, but getting hassled by a couple homeless guys at night for access to a payphone is not my idea of a safe hobby.

I don't care that you all are brave enough to handle it or don't think the risk is too bad for you. You've made your opinions clear. I'm not doing this for you. I want it clear that there are safer and less safer phones. People can make their choices with better info and I won't be responsible for sending a kid to a phone in an unfamiliar neighborhood that they are not prepared for.
