New York Telephone: Pre-1984 Pole ID Tags and Detachable Step Base


Formed January 1, 1984, as a result of the breakup of the Bell System, 
NYNEX was a regional Bell operating company made up of former AT&T subsidiaries 
New York Telephone and New England Telephone.

Photographed in a parking lot behind several buildings right in the city.




They prevented "random people"[so called in The Garage Journal] 
such as me and other kids from climbing telephone poles in my old neighborhood. 
The regular steps started 10 or so feet from the ground.

Walnut Grove Cemetery in Syracuse


I recently located the grave of my mother's father, Newton J. Barrows, 
buried only about 2 miles from where we live in Syracuse.
