Phone number Area Codes....
Back in the day, There was only one phone numbr Area code in Los Angeles, 213. Orange County was 714.
Now there are many, too many to count & 213 was split and 310 was added, then 323, 562, etc.... 213 is pretty much just downtown LA now.
Like in many US cities, reppin your area code represents the specific part of a city you were born and raised in. We take pride in that and don't appreciate when others claim your neighboorhood or rep it in a negative fashion.
I'm originally from 213.... born and bred, now living in the splinter of 562. My only point is that if he was truely from 213, he wouldn't speak like that. That's just not how we roll.
I don't sweat it, not a big deal to me but I just figured I'd fill in the gaps for those of you who were wondering.
