I remember Hawthorne. Mine was Union and I think that has something to do with Union City. We lived in Secaucus.

A starter taught me a trick to remember my Village ID number. He said instead of trying to remember all 6 numbers look at your ID number as a series of 3, 2 digit numbers. Instantly I memorized my ID number.

white 496. The color identified it as a party line white,yellow, etc.). If you could get a private line it would have been just 496

"Hudson3-2700" --If you're from the Chicago area, and over 55, you remember the number AND who it was very well. Good ol' days of telephone numbers.

Many often use old addresses or phone numbers for passwords. I even use an old license plate number. Easy to remember and hard to trace.
