Like my first sighting of the Steinway Storage Warehouse, this last shot shows another highly visible Telephone Exchange Name specimen. This one is located on Astoria Boulevard, at the highly-trafficked crossroads connecting the Grand Central Parkway, Triborough Bridge, and BQE. This number uses the RAvenswood exchange. I do not know what company used to own the RA8-5660 number. Today, however, this phone number so visible to passers-by would translate to 718-728-5660. That number belongs to a place called “Acupuncture & Acupressure”, a shop located on Broadway in Astoria. I wonder if that company is aware that its phone number is blasted across the side of a nearby building, albeit in Telephone Exchange Number format.
