VOS OPINIONS ICI

I just know he's totally faking it, they pulled some drifter's arteriosclerotic corpse outta his Aspen vacation home, and I believe that in reality our scheister friend is sipping margaritas with HUGE GRAINS OF SALT on some beach in Belize.

But do you?

GArrison 7-7600

10 new pictures uploaded today. I think I'm proudest of this find:



I like it because it's a sign on a building that tons of people go by each day (it's between Summer and Congress Streets in Boston) yet they probably don't notice it at all. I also like it because it includes a reference to Boston Edison, which don't exist no more, and a telephone number using the old telephone exchange name system. That really dates the darn thing.

I found a list of Boston telephone exchanges, which I'll paste below the cut, and it seems that a number with the GArrison exchange would have been located in Roxbury. It's also interesting -- to somebody, at least, just probably not you -- it's interesting to note that while this list uses the first three digits in their naming convention (and capitalizes all three letters), most folks were content to just capitalize the first two letters in their exchange name when writing their phone number.

( What would your exchange name be? )

Frankly I don't see why Somerville got stuck with "SOmerset" when it sounds too much like "SOmerville". They probably couldn't use "SOmerville" as the exchange name since no other city got to use their own name for one, and it'd be confusing anyhow. Maybe CAmbridgejunior was already taken or something.

And once again, due to an overabundance of ones and zeroes in my phone number, I am unable to make neither words nor a decent exchange name out of mine. Curse you, Virgin Mobile!
