Tim Connolly writes, of the missing: > cobblestoned streets > granite pavers on streets instead of everyones gardens
At least these are being recycled, and not scrapped! I'm proud to have old Nicollet Av. cobbles in our yard... > > Seven digit alpha-numerica phone numbers As a Chicago transplant, I'll always remember HUdson3-2700 from endless late night movie commercials. Here's some suggestions for Minneapolis exchanges (since I'm not from here and not old enough to remember the originals): 82x- southwest Mpls, uptown, etc: TAngletown or TAkeoff (for under the flight path), TAttoo (for uptown). TAgger (for all our commercial buildings and alleys) 72x- south Mpls, Hiawatha to river or so: PArkway (along the creek), SCandinavia, SCavenger (for the Green Institute) 34x- downtown: FInance (obviously) 67x- city hall: OPportunity, OPinion, OPen 78x- Northeast: STan or PUlaski (nods to Polish culture) Too bad we don't have a PEnnsylvania6-5000......
