atlanta telephone history

More than you might ever want to know about the history of telephone service in Atlanta. I couldn't find out what the D might have meant, or whether it was even a phone number in 1938, but I did learn about East Point's "FAirfax" and its later conversion to "POplar 7" in 1955 (hence the number that appears as 767 and later as PO7--its the same thing).
