I hope I’m not the only one who keeps checking this thread to see if any other Doper has lived in one of the zip codes I’ve lived in. > [@neuroman](#): > > p.s. > The grammatically correct “Zip Codes in Which You Have Lived” was rejected as a thread title for possessing an unsatisfactory level of “snappiness.” I recently saw the following on a T-shirt: “I’m the person about whom your mother warned you.” 😛 ---

Try as I might I can’t remember University Park, PA, a rather crucial omission because that’s both where I was born and where I attended college for four years. Otherwise: 17752 LS2 (as UK) M5S (as Canada) OX1 (as back to UK) OX2 OX4 90505 14092 and current ZIP. ---

I don’t remember them all. 93940 23456 (that one is easy to remember) 78336 78705 78641 78729 I forget the ones in Rhode Island and Mississippi and Florida. Googling suggests 32062 for Florida, 02871 sounds right for Rhode Island, and 39563 looks close enough for Mississippi. ---

Jeez Louis, no! I remember exactly two of the eleven I’ve had: The one I’ve had for 20 years (ages 0-6 and 37-present) and one I had for 8 years (17-25). ---

No. I don’t remember the one for the house I lived in till I was 7 (though I do remember the street address) or the one when I lived in Wales (it began “SA2,” but I don’t remember anything after that). I do remember the five other zip codes. ---

Okay, lessee… in order last to first… all of these except the first one are in the Greater Toronto Area. M8Y 3M3 (renting apartment) L6H 3E7 (back at school, renting room) L5R 2G2 (basement apartment) L5J 4A2 (friend’s basement for six weeks) L5E 1X9 (renting a room–lived here for about a month) L1J 6G1 (renting a room) L1J 1N3 (moved in with friends) L1N 6L9 (moved back in with Mom after graduating from school) L6V 3H1 (renting a room at school) L6T 4J9 (or thereabouts-it’s a little hard to tell the street addresses in that area–back at a different school and renting a room) L1N 6L9 (back from university) N2L 3E6 (apartment near university in Cockroach Towers) N2L 3G1 (university residence) L1N 6L9 (in the co-op) L1N 1B3 (three-bedroom walkup with Mom after the divorce) L1N 5B4 (I miss that house too) K9H 6W6 (Born here. I miss that house) Oh wait… off the top of my head? That was about an hour of research with Google Maps and Canada Post… The only ones I could remember off the top of my head are the one I live in now and the one for Mom’s house. ---
