MD was the first state to do the 10 digit dialing. I am now completely thrown off whenever I'm somewhere that doesn't have it.

Or his *mother*. She works here.
Yes, I can see how that would be awkward.
And thanks for all the area code info - I am from a state where we are STILL freaking out because we got another area code A YEAR AGO. Bringing us to a total of three. For the whole state.

NoVA has 10-digit dialing and so does Maryland, but D.C. doesn't. Which is confusing when I'm at work.

Hee, geeky California area code growth chart. And maps.
Weird to realize that I've been living in CA long enough to see sixteen new area codes generated. There's a lot of freakin' people here.

Do you all have to dial the area code even when making a local call?
Boston, for the last year. They realized they totally blew it on assigning area codes by geography, and rather than redo the whole system they're going to start overlaying a 2nd code in the 617 area, and a 2nd code in 781.

Aww, weirdly, I was thinking that Danny Strong didn't seem that short on GG. Maybe because for a lot of that episode he was sitting down. Also, Alexis Bledel is strangely short for being the daughter of her parents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just saw a news piece that 909 was being split. 950, or something.
When are you going to shine on your own, huh?
Dude, I made the 313. Give a girl a chance to rest.

Also, Alexis Bledel is strangely short for being the daughter of her parents.
Sumi, do you mean her RL parents or Christopher/Lorelei?
Wacky Alexis Bledel fact: She's actually half Argentinian/half Mexican. Spanish is her first language and she didn't learn English until she was in school.
