The NY Times writes about the last remaining Bell Atlantic branded phone booth in NYC, which happens to be in Brooklyn Heights:
NY Times: History carries a high premium in the Heights, so our first call was to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, to ask — tongue slightly in cheek — whether the Bell Atlantic livery had been maintained at the commission’s insistence.
“This booth doesn’t ring a bell with me,” said Elisabeth de Bourbon, spokeswoman for the commission. Later, remembering herself, she explained, “The commission regulates neither signs nor features of a historic district that don’t contribute to its special sense of place.”
