SPencer and FAirbanks
That's my first sighting of a SPencer eXchange, from Westchester. I've seen FAirbanks a number of times.

VIRginia 3-6308. Old phone number for the Leo F. Kearns Funeral Homes. This one's a little hard to see so I added an obnoxiously intrusive big red arrow to help pinpoint it. This exchange name sighting is a little unusual in that it highlights the first 3 letters of the name. Most exchange name sightings only highlight the first two letters. Another example of a three-letter sighting is the HAVemeyer exchange that I've seen in numerous places around town.

I Don't Know What This Is
1956 Corvette in Astoria
NAvarre-9-0400, Sign World
This NAvarre Exchange Name is hidden in the corner of the sign for Phil's Stationery in Midtown. Sign World made this sign, and this phone exchange number advertised that company. I endeavored to buy something at Phil's but the only item I could find that I actually needed that day was a small notepad. That little notepad would have cost me $22! That seemed a steep price for a small pad of paper, though the paper itself felt of a higher grade than most, and the cover felt elegant. Luxurious. Decadent. Normally I spend about 33¢ on a notepad of similar size as one on sale for $22 at Phil's Stationery. Maybe I should get the notepad not despite its price but because of its price. Maybe the extravagant capital outlay for a tiny notebook will ennoble and inspire any thought material I deposit therein, and motivate me to get my money's worth out of the investment. Phil's also offers "ZEROX COPIES".

RAvenswood 8-3510. J. Sgroi & Sons.
TWining 8-7610. Acropolis Realty.
My inspiration to collect exchange name sightings came from two sources. One was D., who first drew my attention to how unusual it was to see these old numbers still posted here in the 21st century. The second source came from a bus trip to upstate New York. On that trip I noticed that some real estate agents in the area had advertised themselves using exchange-name formatted phone numbers. I don't recall which two-letter combinations appeared but at the time I imagined that these real estate companies were inspired by the Telephone Exchange Name Project web site (a long-time favorite of mine). Whatever the reasons I found the retro-chic use of exchange name phone numbers to be intriguing, and I was reminded of those upstate New York billboards when I spotted this "For Rent" sign in Astoria. The Acropolis Realty Corp., located in Flushing, uses the old-fashioned TWining phone exchange for its phone number: TW8-7610. Potential clients in the know will recognize this code and they will wisely call Acropolis at (718) 898-7610.

Vito Corleone's Fictional Burial Site
Vito Corleone's fictional burial in "The Godfather" would have occurred here. There are, of course, real burials here. Most of them are unmarked. If you decide to visit this site on your Godfather tour of New York, please do so with respect for the grounds. Calvary is a place of endless beauty, as I have found in my years roaming the grounds. I hope you will find time to discover what an amazing place this is, if not in person than vicariously through my Photos of Calvary Cemetery, Queens NYC
