Xander Wildeisen Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think calling 911 is a better system, over looking up, and picking who gets to give you a ride to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Years ago I went up into the attic of my old home in San Diego and found a MINT condition 1931 San Diego phone book. It listed the names of my neighbor who had lived next door for years and the name and address of the lady who used to own my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that some simple detective work was far easier than getting a cogent reply from the OP. To his credit, the pix were quite good 1 hour ago, Curti said: 1 hour ago, Curti said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you need an ambulance it is not a time to be picky, the next and final ride in the Caddy could be coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise some local historical society. Even if it's not in the best shape, it can still be a useful tool for those researching genealogy or local history.

plymouthcranbrook Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Not to hijack the thread but several years ago a co worker brought down a magazine that he had found in his fathers papers from his auto repair business. I believe it was called "Who's Who" but was a local edition for the Waukegan-North Chicago, Il area. Also from 1954 it listed residents names, family, address and occupation. My Dad was listed as a letter carrier with 2 family members.(Mom and me) anyone else remember this type of publication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
