I must say the pay phone madness doesn't stop - I was walking Carter this morning and saw a guy on Grand just past Olympic in his chefs outfit making a call on a pay phone.

Anyways, she calls him every week on a payphone, that interestingly, plays a key role in the movie. I remembered this post as I was watching the movie last night. In any event, it's a really good, sweet and moving movie (73% on the Tomatometer at RottenTomatoes.com), worth checking out and may also answer your question as to why there are so many payphones in LA. :-) I watched a really touching movie last night, called “Under the Same Moon” about a boy in Mexico and his mother who left him behind to cross the border…she lives in LA (it’s cool to see parts of DTLA and East LA as the backdrop in the movie) to earn money for a better life for her son.
