    We're heading north up Rochester's Goodman Street, past pizza places
    and gas stations and narrow wood-framed homes, when Eric Kunsman spots
    a red-crowned kiosk in front of the parking lot of a convenience
    store/smoke shop. It's a pay phone, one he'd probably seen many times
    before but had never truly seen until now.

    "Look at that!" he says. We pull over, and he pops the hatch on his
    Toyota SUV. "I can't believe I missed this one."
