Cell Phone Numbers

So aside from friends, family and work, what numbers do you have in your cell phone that someone living in the neighborhood might want to have in their phone.

I have:

TPD 231-6130. See a crime occurring, or someone or something suspicious? Call TPD. See a broken water pipe after hours as I walk the dog? Call TPD so they can a hold of the emergency water crew . See a shopping cart on Davis Island Bridge that could easily get knocked over into the roadway? Call TPD. Drive by Rivercrest Park after hours and see a Port O' John turned on its side? Call TPD so they can notify the after hours Parks people.

Carrollwood Lowes (249-6091) and Florida Avenue Home Depot (933-0302). Instead of wandering around the store looking for a particular item or looking for a associate, while in the store I call the main number and their customer service reps not only tell me what aisle I need but whether it is stock. They can also page a associate to my location.

Cappys (238-1516) Blue Sea Seafood Restaurant (234-5085) and Stephanno's (232-9486). Hot food waiting for me instead of me waiting for hotfood. Often I am away from the house when we decide to order there.

I C E - In Case of Emergency - Susan's name and my home number

TECO - 223-0800 - When the power goes out, no stumbling around in the dark looking for the phone book.

  2. No - That is what the archaic device known as the telephone book is used for. Emergency toilet paper!
