the phone booth
from wargames posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
In WarGames, the phone booth scene where David calls Jennifer after he escapes from NORAD was filmed outside of Darrington, Washington (even though he says he's in Colorado). That's Whitehorse Mountain in the background. The phone booth itself is of course long gone, and the Exxon station across the street is now a Shell. The one thing that stuck in my mind when I saw this movie as a kid was how he got a free call just by using a soda can pull tab. Somehow I doubt that would work.

A small wooden house built in the North End in 1680, the Paul Revere House is the oldest building in Boston.
The home was purchased by Revere in 1770 when he was 35 years old. It was where he was living with his family (he had 16 children in all) when he made his famous ride to Lexington on April 18, 1775. This was later immortalized by Longfellow’s famous poem "Paul Revere’s Ride".
Today, the home is part of the Freedom Trail.
