-> Steve you are correct... But in the days of old, the 662 exchange
-> area in Greater Cleveland area was called the Montrose area as the
-> 749 exchange in Parma was called the Shadyside..  To really benefit
-> from these older areas you have to be an "O_F" to remember this
-> stuff, and that I am.....

        Hehehe...  I remember them days, so I guess I'm an "O_F" too.
Back then, you referred to your phone number's exchange by the CO.
Who can forget Garfield 1 - 2323 and Jimmy Dudley?  <grin>

        Like I said before in the last message, I work for Ameritech and
we still refer to areas in the city by the Central Office's name; like
Clearwater, Edison, Spring, Trinity, Melrose, Shadyside, Victory,
Henderson, Kenmore, Redwood, etc...
