Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated November 27, 1963 partially reads, "A tale of mystery hung by a tail - a wire one, no less - in Burbank today. It all revolved around a telephone spotted dangling on its cord entrapped on a telephone line at Magnolia Boulevard, and Orchard Drive, by Valley Times Photographer Gordon Dean... A maintenance crew removed the phone later." Although the article lists this intersection as Magnolia Boulevard and Orchard Drive, the photograph actually shows the street signs as being Chandler Boulevard and Orchard Drive.
