I lived in a lot of different places in the US in the 70s and 80s. All the phone books had residential addresses listed.
This is the format and font I remember: https://groovyhistory.com/content/50602/01af8c322a21e50d0b81254ccf42839b.jpg https://groovyhistory.com/content/50602/01af8c322a21e50d0b81...
- JohnFen 5y agoYes, they did (at least in my part of the US). But... you could tell the phone company not to list your address, and then they wouldn't. If you wanted to pay a monthly fee for even more privacy, you could have your number unlisted entirely.
