359-9122. No area code. "The time... is 4:00... from Mountain Bell... Temperature 58°"
This is on of my faves, Stef. So many memories, not just about the time and weather, but the phone in general. It sucked trying to win a radio contest when the phone numbers contained so many 9s and 0s.
314-321-2222! It’s not quite the same as it was 50 years ago, but it’s still kicking!
Also, this was an especially fascinating Substack entry! And I still have a landline as my main phone.
Every once in a while I'll call my grandma's number. She died in 1998 but for a long time the number wasn't assigned to anyone else.
