Actually, even here in the Twin Cities there is 'another' CDC.
On local media, ads for the Clothing Distribution Center appear
regularly.  They make the explicit point of calling themselves
'CDC'.  I would bet a fair amount that for every Twin Citian who
recognizes CDC as Control Data Corporation, there are at least five
who recognize CDC as Clothing Distribution Center!

'Nuff said.
