The AT&T name was purchased by Southern Bell Company, which if you do a
little checking you'll find has also purchased pretty much all of the
local operating companies that were spun off by AT&T, and a few that
were always at least semi independent, such as SNET, making it fitting
and yet sad that they adopted their erstwhile parent's name when they
absorbed them. SBC by the way had one of the worst reputations amongst
those 7 spun off companies and really had to change their name, to
protect the guilty. And yes SBC now AT&T still owns pay phones
including that one if the plate on the front is any indicator.

Interesting composition there.
Pay phone? What's a pay phone?
Regarding the corporate giant in the background, coffee and free rest
rooms is the only reason I would darken their doors. I can't tell
which corporate giant owns the object in the foreground. Ma Bell was
dissolved years ago, and I doubt the inept wireless carrier that
purchased their name and logo owns any pay phones, even defunct ones.

A little something that caught my eye this afternoon, no reflection on the
corporate Giant in the background, they actually make a scrumptious iced
coffee, however the corporate giant reflected in the foreground seems to be
holding their products together with reinforce packing tape, the modern
equivalent of bailing wire.
This should have gone into the Sign of the times gallery of the PUG, but I
didn't see it until today.
