        RIT uses from 475-2000 to 475-7999 now since RIT switched over
from Centrex to AT&T System 85 a couple years back.  RIT still uses
scores of 475-1xxx lines for private direct connections while the rest
goes to business customers.
 
        Henrietta is an extremely large suburban town.  It has three
post offices that serves it: Main Rochester P.O., Henrietta and West
Henrietta.  Therefore, Henrietta has two C.O.s.  The exchanges you
mentioned above serves on one C.O. and the other exchanges you
mentioned serves the other C.O.
 
        For tax purpose, we are Henrietta but that's where the line
draws.  Some addresses have Rochester as the city, other areas have
Henrietta and my area has West Henrietta.
