Hartford Pay Phone Contest: Pay Phone #19

Here we find Pay Phone #19 in the Sad City Pay Phone Search. Pay phone #19 is located on the corner of Broad and Ward St, an area known for significant drug trafficking. Not only is #19 in a very yellow area, everything is a little askew around #19. The ATM sign is askew, the handset itself on #19 is askew, and the neighborhood around #19 is very askew. Even the Corona add is askew in logic. Why would you pay $15.99 for a 12-pack of Corona when you can clearly buy two 6-packs for $15.98? One thing is clear #19 has lead a mixed up life. Thanks to Mr. Ceder for the tip.
