God dammit Maryland, I'm sure your mother is very proud.

[–]esssssss 33 points34 points ago

We only have 2 ._.

[–]MrDemaree 22 points23 points ago

Well, four. It's just two areas though, since 410/443 and 240/301 overlap.

Whaaaat are you serious

[–]Justicles13 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, some of my new neighbors have it. I thought they kept their old area codes from wherever the hell they're from. But nope, we added a fifth area code.

[–]graycode 97 points98 points ago

I like the idea, but wow, that's an unreadable map.

[–]adamgram 63 points64 points ago

Also its wrong. 717 is central PA, not Philadelphia. Philadelphia is 215 and the surrounding areas are 610. I hate this map and I hope it dies.

[–]shrididdy 87 points88 points ago

Easy bro. His mistake means more hoes for you.

[–]Biscotti_Manicotti 7 points8 points ago

Philadelphia is still labeling Philadelphia. Just because it's not centered over the area code that covers the city doesn't mean otherwise. It's a long name in a crowded part of the map.

[–]Darkhavans 6 points7 points ago

As someone who lives in 717, it's definitely in the right place; you are right that it's just misleading because it's below the city name.

[–]23_47 0 points1 point ago

Nah they messed up the NYC Tri state area as well.

[–]PhilxBefore 0 points1 point ago

New York City - Tri-State?

Please explain.

As a fellow 717 resident, I concur.

[–]gsutoker 0 points1 point ago

770 in Georgia is also wrong. 770 is north metro Atlanta, not Atlanta itself.

[–]IAMA_Wild_Creature 0 points1 point ago

Grew up in Cartersville, 770 is dead on, but then again, why are we even critiquing a goddamn map?

[–]gsutoker 3 points4 points ago

770 extends through Forsyth county.

Why are we critiquing a map? We are in a subreddit dedicated to maps.

[–]Azkar 1 point2 points ago

I've also never seen an 878 number in Pittsburgh...

[–]neutrl 0 points1 point ago

This and 267/484

717 is west of Bucks/Montgomery/Philadelphia

[–]skirlhutsenreiter 0 points1 point ago

None of the city area codes are large enough for their names. The label for Fort Worth appears over Witchita's area, but is clearly indicating the little 817/682 area below it. Likewise, Houston is in the Gulf of Mexico, and Denver is on the border between 970 and 720/303, but no one would think they've floated Houston out to sea or that all of Western Colorado is Denver

[–]ciscomd -3 points-2 points ago

Looks like OP screenshotted it from somewhere else without bothering to enlarge it to its proper size. Look at the cursor over South Dakota.

[–]noitz 27 points28 points ago

Wiggle your mouse back and forth. I think you are looking at your own curser.

[–]shortnblonde 6 points7 points ago

Being from the 770 I was somewhat butthurt that it was forgotten on the map, especially since Ludacris is from Georgia. Thanks, Deeeej.

[–]eyecite -1 points0 points ago

It's on there, but whoever did the map thinks it's exclusive to downtown.

[–]aresman71 0 points1 point ago

Oh look, he's got hoes in my are code too

[–]KungFuSnoopy 86 points87 points ago

If this is map porn, then it's the pornography equivalent of watching a video of your grandparents having sex.

It's disgusting.

Edit: I mean it's really hard to look at.

[–]The_Weasel 8 points9 points ago

Rather the resolution is like watching porn on a 56k connection. Or something of that nature. You understand the idea, but you might wish to see more details if possible.

[–]DukeSpraynard -5 points-4 points ago

[–]berserklemon 28 points29 points ago

He's got hoes in my area code ಠ__ಠ

Ludacris might very well be my dad.

[–]jackblack2323 20 points21 points ago

so your mom's a ho?

[–]berserklemon 19 points20 points ago

No, she's Ludacris's ho. That's completely different.

[–]bluesbird 3 points4 points ago

I'm currently living in one of the area codes and have lived in three others in the past. I'm really not sure what to think about that.

[–]bunbun22 1 point2 points ago

I'm on my fifth area code in 5 years and all of them are on here.

[–]AndrewCarnage 0 points1 point ago

Or your dad is one of Ludacris's hoes?

[–]berserklemon 0 points1 point ago

Like father like son.

[–]blueboybob 11 points12 points ago

when this song came out Louisiana only had 2 area codes. The 2 colored. The song and the area code map are not teh same age.

[–]having_said_that 8 points9 points ago

Yep. I'm pretty sure when he said 318, he was talking about Lafayette, not Monroe or Alexandria.

[–]blueboybob 2 points3 points ago

or baton rouge

[–]karmapolice_225 1 point2 points ago

Don't be bitter 337.

[–]having_said_that 0 points1 point ago

[–]MalcolmPecs 3 points4 points ago

Yep. I lived in the 317 when this song came out (and therefore thought it was awesome), but now my area code is different.

[–]AlphaHotel_94 3 points4 points ago

That was my very same reaction. Like, fucking Nebraska? What?

[–]Gyaruson 1 point2 points ago

Lincoln is a huge college town. We got some fine ass women - plenty for Mr. Ludacris to choose from.

He is from Champaign Illinois. You would figure he would at least have one ho in the 217

[–]linuxwil 3 points4 points ago

Man strictly abides by the don't shit where you eat rule. Which, on a separate note makes me think....where does this turn of phrase come from? Who was pooping un the kitchen? Surely not Ludacris...

[–]IAMA_Wild_Creature 2 points3 points ago

Pigs, mate. Pigs won't shit where they eat. Can't be said of all animals.

[–]Wakasaki_Rocky 1 point2 points ago

This behavior was noted in a recent article in National Geographic on the Roma.

At Victor Filisan’s house, where he offered me the local drink of Jack Daniel’s and Red Bull, I asked to use the toilet. He showed me not to the Jacuzzi-equipped bathroom inside but to an outhouse at the back of the lot, the same one he and his wife use. For reasons of ritual purity, many Roma, especially older ones, do not cook and use the toilet under the same roof.

[–]BRiNGTHERiCEOUT 2 points3 points ago

He did a song with country singer Jason Aldean, so I guess it's possible the farm girls like him too

[–]Berkbelts 3 points4 points ago

Midway and Wake Island, damn that's impressive.

[–]Jagodka 2 points3 points ago

Wait, does Ludacris claim to have hoes in Bergen County, NJ?

[–]AcerRubrum 3 points4 points ago

the 201 area code also includes Hudson county and specifically Jersey City, which has a sizeable black population.

[–]aFiveSeven 2 points3 points ago

He has hoes in the 407, way to go Orlando I knew you'd never let me down? I don't know why I feel proud of this.

[–]Rich_Bastard 2 points3 points ago

I find it funnier that people actually researched this data and made a fucking map based on it.

There is much agricultural diversity in all areas of this great country.

Many gardeners, many hoes.

[–]skirlhutsenreiter 1 point2 points ago

Do you just give out the last four digits when someone asks for your number? One segment of my family does that and, since I didn't grow up there and don't remember the exchange, it kinda drives me nuts.

I can find the file, but back when I was a freshman in college -- '03 -'04 -- some friends of friends made a parody rap group called THE CONDOM RAPPERS -- and made a singularly wonderful song titled " I ' VE GOT WHORES ON SEVERAL DORN FLOORS " Apart from being a great parody, in ended with some post-performance studio jostling a la the Wi-Tang...concluding with someone saying, "I've got too much muthafucking sticktoittiveness." Fucking Grade A Genius

It's hilarious that some states have one area code.

[–]Taedirk 0 points1 point ago

Although it's not explicitly listed in the lyrics, 434 (VA) should probably be included. "Area Codes" was released a month after the split from 804 and recorded in the months prior.

Wow, for the first time I saw something IRL years before I saw it on reddit.

[–]spunkychickpea 1 point2 points ago

Mr Ludacris,

I'm writing you today to inform you that you've passed up an area code dense with hoes. I am a resident of the 501 (central Arkansas) and I can, without exaggeration, say that the number of hoes present here is staggering. I'd recommend you take a hoexpedition here to find out for yourself.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Arkansan

[–]Darth_Hobbes 0 points1 point ago

Could someone explain how this system makes any sense? Those numbers seem entirely arbitrary to me.

[–]tiwuno 0 points1 point ago

Aren't all postal codes and area codes completely arbitrary?

[–]skirlhutsenreiter 1 point2 points ago

Postal codes are not at all arbitrary. The first digit indicates a region, so the mid-Atlantic codes all start with a 2, the Rocky Mountain West with an 8. Then each state is assigned a range of two more digits (e.g, Mississippi has 386-397, while Texas gets 750-799). Those first three digits designates a sorting center. Both assignments are laid out so that, generally speaking, the larger the number the further south and west the place indicated. The last two digits of a code indicate a town or neighborhood served by that sorting center, but are laid out based on postal routes, so they can make less sense geographically.
