|  See these Pacific Bell phone booths disappear in front of 333 Grant Avenue (2003-2004). [See another pay phone hang it up for good.] | Vintage 
        Traffic Signals from the 1930s-1950s are disappearing with progress. 
        The TV series Streets of San Francisco 
        and The Lineup are excellent archives 
        of these details and other street acoutrement such as police 
        call boxes, phone booths, 
        and train switches. San Francisco 
        is itself a work of art. Mister SF's photo series marks the death 
        of a small detail, perhaps. But, as with all great art, every brush stroke 
        matters.  |
