Sad news for all of you Phone Boothers. Tomes "Tom" Karahalios, owner of Tom's Pizza passed away over this weekend. Tom was a good friend of mine and a great friend of The Phone Booth. Rest in peace old friend!

This was a stained glass representation of the Phone Booth which was a part of a light box at the end of the bar. It was designed and built by Dr. Neil Stoddard who was in charge of maintenance for the bar and a great friend.
