JAckson 4-2291 was my home phone number growing up.
JAckson2-8550 sticks in my mind, but I can’t for the life of me remember if it was our number, my grandparents’ or the time and temperature line. I dialed that one a bunch as a child. Free entertainment!
I have asked (or at least mentioned) this before but back in the 50’s you could dial one of those frequently used numbers, or a call-in show at the Top 40 station, and get a busy signal and then strike up conversations with others getting busies themselves. You could waste much time chatting with total strangers in what had to have been one of the earlier forms of chat rooms, message boards and stuff like this place!
Either you’re from Northbrook, or there were more CR2s than just my village.
It’s amazing how I can remember this, and my grandparent’s phone number, and not remember why I walked into the kitchen.
Busted. Bugsy Malone and I swiped the kid’s bike.
^ Hey, bup, we really need a BIG HONKIN’ Thumbs-up smiley; and you just earned one.
(This will have to do, for now) ::BHT-u smilie::
PRospect 5-xxxx for Mullan, Idaho. Now Mullan numbers are 744-xxxx.
SKyline 2-xxxx and SKyline 3-xxxx for Wallace, Idaho. Numbers are still 752-xxxx and 753-xxxx and 556-xxxx (added in the late '70s).
SUnset 2-xxxx, SUnset 4-xxxx and SUnset 6-xxxx for Pinehurst-Kellogg, Idaho. Pinehurst numbers are now 682-xxxx. Kellogg’s numbers are still 784-xxxx and 786-xxxx. 783-xxxx numbers added in the late '70s.
All these exchanges are for an area with a total population of under 13,000.
GEt OFf my LAwn!
Can this be a signal that we need to update our Geezer Club listing? If so, somebody else can drive that truck. I get enough grief for the ones I have done. 
Watch out, whippersnappers, the geezers are taking o…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The stuff that stays in my brain: REpublic 9-2693.
ATwater 1 (San Diego).
Gibraltar.
I miss it.

TRinity 8-3272, to be exact.
I would like to state for the record that I, myself, am not yet a geezer. However, I do know some, and after reading this thread I got curious about what our exchange name would have been, as I very vaguely remember being able to dial the last 5 numbers for a local number. The geezers in my life inform me that the name was DIamond-5, which I think is pretty sexy, actually.
^ Sounds like the name of the secretary/Girl Friday on a “77 Sunset Strip”-type show. Sorry, you wouldn’t know about that, not being a geezer and all.
Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb!
^ Geez on, m’friend!
Yeah, but who was Richard Diamond’s receptionist?
