Ames listing

[greg8370]

in the new AT & T phone book (March 2007; SE Connecticut edition) just delivered to my front door yesterday in the yellow pages (pg 202) under " Department Stores."  Phone  # 860-376-7525.  How does THAT happen?  Is there someone out there keeping the memory alive by paying for the listing?  It's the only Ames listed.

Maybe they paid for several years in advance... :yup:

I don't know; typically individual stores don't pay those type of bills at store level or are allowed to enter into that type of agreement -- it's done at home office level. In fact stores are strongly warned against this type of solication.

Chris will be pleased. It's one of his old favs...

He he, you are right!  I loved that store, especially the makeshift dumping ground behind it!

The new phone book we got a couple weeks ago has either KMART or AMES (I forgot which) still listed in it. Very funny for me becuase I work in the former KMART building. (Price Chopper)

Just for fun, I called the number and you get a recording that the number is not working within the 860 area code.  I would have thought that I'd get a standard message saying that the number has been disconnected.  (Cue "Twilight Zone" theme...)
