        I've attached the file we use - it is, I believe, from
NCES CCD Build-A-Table:

http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/bat/

        It's been a few months - I'm not certain of the provenance,
but we put this stuff on our maps.  I think we probably strip
beauty colleges and the ilk out first.  ...

HTH,
        veg
