I don’t know the one where I lived until I was 5, but then again, I don’t think the ZIP Code had even been invented yet. There were “zones”, like Brooklyn 4, NY, but I don’t even know THAT code. I do remember the phone number, though, if that counts 😃 The rest of them, no problemo: 11804 02881 02879 02881 11804 07017 07076 08876 08844 ---
