I remember named telephone exchanges. When I was a kid, our phone number began with HUdson 7. (For the kids: That's why the buttons on your phone have letters on them--not for text messages, and not for phone numbers like 1-900-HOT-CHIX; those came later.)

And our landlady had a party line. (For the kids: No, that has nothing to do with what you get when you call 1-900-HOT-CHIX.)
