Found this gem at my parent’s house today. My mom won’t get rid of it until she gets a new one… PS- it’s like 1/2 the size from when I was a kid.

We would stack a couple of the thick phone books and used them as booster seats

My parents have dozens of them dating back to the 80’s. Full-sized. They refuse the get rid of them bc they have notes written in the margins about service providers. These have the white pages with household numbers as well.

I was leaving CVS this morning and saw a stack of yellow pages by the entrance. Looked a little dusty.

That one looks like it is from 2020. Probably was getting hard to find people to buy ads in the Yellow Pages so it was getting thinner.

Funny when you watch old movies or some show like Mad Men, and they use the phrase “look me up if you’re ever in town”. Gen Z would have no idea what that means.
