I was looking on "the information super highway" to see if my early childhood home had brunt in Pasadena Ca (it hadn't). I easily recalled the street address, even though we moved before I was 7. Then I remembered my phone # Sycamore 8-xxxx. Sycamore was 79. If I recall correctly, the phone exchanges were tree themed in that area. I asked my gal if she remembered her first phone number, in Long Island, and her exchange was Grover; 47. She's not what sure Grover was, but it probably was not a tree.
I guess it is pretty common for us kids of that era to taught remember our first phone #s, we were generally allowed to roam and that was how we were supposed to get found if we got lost.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but old phone exchange trivia would not be the dumbest topic brought up on this forum. ;]
