Remember that scene in "Swingers" where Jon Favreau's character gets a girl's number at a bar, and the guys judge her potential by what area code she gave? Vince Vaughn's character gets to the heart of it: "310? 213?" A disappointed Favreau looks up. "818," he says, to disappointing groans all around.
That movie, released in 1996, seems positively quaint today. Since then, we've seen the introduction of new area codes like 323, 626 and 562, and now it looks like there may be more to come. A new 424 area code may soon be carved out of the 310 area code, for those poor saps south of the Imperial Highway (Torrance, Gardena, etc.)
