- In Detroit, we live in an area where the exchange name used to be
- TUXedo (881,882,883,884,885,886). However, the official name of the CO
- is DTRT Niagra (DTRTMINICGO -- still a 1ESS). I used to think that the
- CO name was the name of a street on which the CO was located (or a
- street near the CO), but there isn't a TUXEDO in that area.
-
- Most of our Edison substations are named for the street that they are
- either on or close to.

- [Moderator's Note: But here in Chicago we had a 'true TUXedo' as in
- 889. The CO's here were variously named for the street they were
- located on or the neighborhood; sometimes an historical person or
- event (i.e. HAymarket [riots]; [Mayor Carter] HARrison. PAT]
