December 11, 20214 yr Dang I’m gonna bookmark this ewers thread in case I need to look up historic area codes. Recruiting and coaching change threads are better tha. Encyclopedias these days
December 11, 20214 yr No love for the 817? Had no idea we had Dallas' code after WWII..Edit- which cooincidentally was McGuires area code until about 2 weeks ago.
December 11, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Rimbo said: I'm from 806, and I don't give a shit. You know that area codes were assigned based on how long it'd take to dial them on the rotary phone? That's why NYC gets 212, Los Angeles gets 213, Austin gets 512, and Amarillo gets 806. Try dialing 806 on a rotary phone, I dare ya. And notice I didn't mention Lubbock. Because Lubbock doesn't count, not even to people from Amarillo. Why? Only ever had to dial area codes for a long distance call. speaking of, are you happy with your long distance rates and service? MCI has a variety of plans to fit your needs.

DFW was 214, still in dallas today. They sure as shit didn’t give Texarkana the short number. 212 NY, 213 LA, 214 DFW, 413 Chicago, 215 Philly, 313 Detroit, 413 Boston… certainly a pattern there.

December 11, 20214 yr The area codes with low numbers were given to the most populated cities back when we had rotary phones. Thus, 212 NY, 213 LA, etc. SA was also 512 back in the '80s
December 11, 20214 yr I always thought it was stupid when Reggie Bush put his area code under his eyes. There's nothing special about coming from an area code with a few million people in it. Now, a zip code would be much more granular and relate more to a neighborhood--it would really give a sense of place--if anyone ever knew zip codes. Confession: When I was a kid I knew the Huntsville zip code because 77340 spelled 0hELL when you turned one of those old calculators upside down. Yes, I was a rebellious child.
