IF A PHONE RINGS IN THE DESERT AND NOBODY IS AROUND TO HEAR IT DOES IT MAKE A SOUND?


After reading a strange letter in a music magazine, an Arizona man becomes obsessed with a random phone in an abandoned city. 


This time on ¡extra! Ordinary we look at the Mojave Phone Booth, a functioning pay phone in the middle of the desolate California desert that gained a cult following at the turn of century and was ultimately taken down when its fame grew too great. 


We also look at the history of Cima, the town that the booth was meant to service and how the phone outlived the town.




¡extra! Ordinary is hosted by Sonny Garibay.
