I noticed that payphones cost $.35 for a local call. Is that something just peculiar to Iowa or is it a sweeping trend I'll have to deal with all the time soon? People always have a quarter on them. But who has a quarter and a dime? Yeech. [Moderator's Note: Are you sure these were US West payphones, or perhaps privately owned COCOTS under the auspices of a greedy shop-keeper? PT]
