Looking in the greater atlanta area, I see:  
30 Hits for AAAA  
63 hits for AAA  
Some notables in the greater ATL area:  
[Kennesaw A-Aa-A Cab](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=20214890&ck=2014657177&tab=B2C&tcat=8014796&city=Atlanta&state=GA&zip=30305&country=us) (how do you say that? like the Fonz?)

Also, beyond GA, I see:

[Alcohaaaal 24 Hour Abuse Aaaa Access Helpline](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=B:CT3226406&ck=3276479569&tab=B2C&city=Atlanta&state=GA&zip=30305&country=us)

In Philly, we have:

A A A A A (no business type given)

A’AAAA Auto Tags

AAAAA Bartending Institute

AAAAA Debt Clinic

and my personal favoirte

A AA AA AA AA Injury Access Line

Interestingly enough, the way they alphabetize the business white pages, these are in the third column of the second page.

In Jackson, a listing for: AAAAAAAAABFT which evidently is a company specializing in drug rehab.

We also have a couple of “A aA Tax Service” and “A Aa Above The Rest”.

My favorite is “A Aachen Back” (chiropractor).

A AAA AArdvark Locksmith.

So what the heck is a triple-a aardvark?

And AAAAA Rent a Space is around here as well. It’s pronounced “five a” probably to prevent Fonz-like interpretations.
