#781

WBBM-AM Employees and listeners perhaps. :P

Most of the 3 digit numbers that are of any importance around here are gone, except one.

#224 (overlay)
#630 (DuPage and most of Kane County)
#773 (Chicago outside the Loop area)
#708 (western and southern Cook)
#312 (Chicago Loop)

That leaves

#847 (northwest Cook and Lake)
#815 (surrounding area)

#782

#783

Back before they were simply 3 digit "prefixes", 782 and 783 were SUnset-2 and SUnset 3 in Fort Smith, AR.

#784~In July of '84, I attended my second year of band camp at Morehead State University.

From the Old Farmer's Almanac, this week:


Full Flower Moon, May 15

On May 15, 1940, women queued up for hours before stores opened, just to be sure of getting their share of a new women's-wear commodity -- nylon stockings. Thanks to public relations fanfare (exaggerated claims that a pair of stockings would "last forever") and limited stock, hosiery departments were stampeded and near-riots broke out. By the end of the year, 36 million pairs of stockings made with the new miracle fiber had been sold. Silk stockings became obsolete, and the term stockings itself fell into disuse. Instead, women called them simply "nylons."
