Our province shares its area code with another province. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are all 902. I guess combined the two provinces have just over 1 million people. I wonder when we will need another one.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

With help from google, I couldn't just remember all of those.
I Googled for my childhood number, but we moved before the phone company started replacing the old area codes that all had 1 or 0 in the center with the newer ones with other digits, and it looks like where we used to live has a newer area code now.
From looking at the area codes for Ohio, I *think* it was 513. Teppy (or other Ohio people), does that sound right? We were in Columbiana County.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Actually, up until about 15 years ago, I could make local calls just by dialing the last 5 digits of the number.
When I was in college (1989-1993), you could call anywhere on campus -- dorm rooms, offices, etc. -- just by dialing the last 4 digits, because they all had the same prefix.
If you wanted to call any place in town, you just dialed 9 and then the last 4 digits. (The campus prefix was 523 and the town prefix was 529.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cindy, born in Williamstown (or, okay, born in North Adams, because that was the nearest hospital back in the day).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still think area codes without 1 or 0 in the middle are fucked up.

My college was the same way, and I was in school '96-'00. I'm not sure if it's still like that, but i hope it is.
