When the mall I worked in, 35 miles from home, took out all the phone booths, they said it was because of drug dealers.
Same with every outdoor phone booth on the street I walked home along from downtown, in my own city, and made me start driving instead of enjoying the walk.
Some stores had them indoors, but after they closed for the day, there was nothing.
…
In both cases, I had called the relevant police department to complain that it left no place to call the police, a cab, or a friend for a ride.
This was several years before cell phones were pocket size…. And about 10 or 12 years before I had one.
For what it’s worth, this PINTEREST post is the only thing I could find about this (nighthawks?).

Woo Hoo! Now we get some action! Perro kicking some bad guy asp. This is the stuff a good adventure comic needs lots of. Rescues, escapes, asp-kicking, and duels!
Was a 1935 movie about the dangers of cocaine use.
The only thing that saves it from “Reefer Madness” status, is cocaine is in fact as dangerous as the opening blurb makes it (that’s all I watched / the “production values” are obvious).
Here it is.

Couldn’t they have just used the brass bit, itself, upside down?
I think they wanted a faucet like this, but did not want to pay that much , so…..
they improvised
Yeah, I figured.
But I think I’d take a normal spigot over a high arched one made of tubing and string, lovely as it is.
I think the threads limited them to that orientation.
Maybe, but the plumbing threads I’ve used all go the same direction. Righty tighty lefty loosy😁
There’s one kind that’s backwards… I’m pretty sure that’s for gas lines.
Once a part is attached, a half turn either way would turn it the other direction, and they’re hopefully made with enough threading to do that.
But… Sigh… I’m no plumber so you probably mean something in not getting.
It would leak.
And teflon tape is iffy.
That is engineering of the back yard mechanic kink. If it works it’s good.

And because of people like this, we can’t have phone booths any more.

I guess he doesn’t have a name — just “Native American…”
I see some sort of markings at the bottom left, but I can’t make out what they say, or what they represent.

We’ve been to Korean stores like that – cluttered, but we did find everything we wanted in a short amount of time.

You mean that one right in the middle of the picture?
Yeah… I was going to say pretty much the same thing.
I think I see an angelfish, but if I’m right, it’s not only one of the biggest things in the picture, it isn’t hidden or disguised in any way.
So…. Maybe there’s a tiny one someplace that I can’t see, or maybe this isn’t really a puzzle.
Or…. Could this be one tiny piece of a much bigger page, which made the angelfish harder to.pick out?
Poped right out at me. This must be an extra simple one.
Ok, i just did a search, and it is supposed to be a little bigger….
Still pretty obvious… But would this have been harder?
Is that the “Batteries not Included” house?
It’s not a house, silly.
It’s clearly labeled a UKC TFEP.

You lucky dog, you!
Dude, you know where you have to stick that nose.
At least he has a chance of getting away with it.

¡Ay, Dios mio! It has finally happened, mis Cleomigos!
It says so, right on top: “Perro™ commences his ride!”
“Perro™ rides! At last, he rides!
….
Avenger of evil, rescuer of mothers and babies…. champion of the down-trodden….
He rides!
…
Apparently right up onto rooftops…
Or maybe he stands on his horse to climb onto rooftops… yeah, isn’t that what basset heroes do?
And he leaps onto evil-doers, fists blazing… sword at the ready!
…..
Will he mark the corrupt alcade with a “P”?
Is he going to take up this fight singlehanded?
Who will ride with “Perro™?
Stay tuned!
Another day…. at this basset time, on this basset channel!
