Tucked away in a corner along Valencia Street in San Francisco, a phone booth with a bright red phone stands tall.

"Hey, this is Chris calling from San Francisco. Who am I speaking with?" Chris Renfro, who lives in San Francisco, said. "What's up, Shane? How are you doing?"

Renfro is talking to a stranger who lives in Abilene, Texas, on "The Party Line." The phone booth in front of Black Serum Tattoo shop states, "Call a Republican." And a phone booth in Abilene encourages Texans to "Call a Democrat" in San Francisco.
