Good to know! I was wondering about that, ironically we don't seem to have those in CA, or at least not in LA.

Gamewells were put up before the wide availability of telephones. So, unless you live in an area that was developed prior to that, you wouldn't see them. The older parts of LA probably still have some gamewells if there are any old telephone poles remaining.
