      Yes.  I'll go you one better.  I remember when my hometown first
got an exchange, that is, when it upgraded from operators to dial.
The exchange was "WAlnut", which became "92" years later, when named
exchanges were dropped in favor of all numbers.

      And numerically it would be 234-5789.
