The instructions for registering in the UUCP  ".US"  domain indicate that
city codes assigned are Western Unions' "City Codes". Is there a reference
available for these codes, or a number to call to find out what the city
code is for a particular city? I called my local Western Union office, but
the operator had no idea what a "city code" was.

[Moderator's Note: City Codes are three letter mnemonics unique to each
city, such as CHI STL NYC DFW. I don't know them all, but that is the idea.
It is how telegrams were routed long ago.   PT]
