Nick Grandchamp, a veteran of the Vermont punk scene, has installed a phone booth at Mountain Music record shop in Rutland to remind people of a time before cellphones had screens. The phone booth has been turned into a jukebox of sorts with over 100 sound clips that can be accessed by dialing numbers on the original phone dial pad. The booth debuted at the record shop alongside the Mystery Art Machine, another creation of Grandchamp’s. The phone booth is free to use, but donations can be made to support Grandchamp’s next project.
