These pre-historic shelters that are littered throughout the Kingsborough campus (especially in the T -buildings) were once referred to as Phone Booths in ancient times .
Today sadly they are doorless, lightless and phoneless- serving more as reminders of a time when cell phones were only used on the pages of Dick Tracy, and you would sound very strange to say things like I-phone or Smart-phone. You were more likely to ask a stranger for a dime or a quarter to make a quick phone call.
Still they remain here at KCC as reminders of a not so distant past- but where would Superman go to quickly change into his costume without the sliding glass doors of the phone booth?- maybe he could duck into one of the KCC Wayfinders and put a coat in front of himself for modesty.
