Tulsa used to have 14 different telephone stations, each with their own office. The name of the station was identified by a two letter abbreviation that is now the first two digits of your phone number.
The most remembered one is probably LUther. LU is now phone numbers beginning with 58.
What are the other 13 station abbreviations and full names?

RI for Riverside and I believe the prefix is 74.
That's the only one I remember other than LU.

TEmple and ADams are correct.
Grandmother was wrong...the 24 prefix was not CHerry but, CIrcle. The 23 was ADams, not CEdar...
We are now up to seven.
23 - Adams
24 - Circle
44 - Hickory
58 - Luther
74 - Riverside
83 - Temple
93 - Webster
Still need...
26 -
27 -
28 -
29 -
34 -
43 -
62 -

Not me...my grandparents and parents on the other hand. But seriously, I knew National because I have an uncle who used to work for Bell, and my first foray into DSL I did a lot of research, and the switching station at 41st and Memorial was still named 'National'. |
