Dial 715 for Superior

Why would anyone want to place a call to Superior?

To call Walt Dizzo and request songs. Or to call Berv and request anything else.

One would assume this works in reverse, then?

I think the Anchor should be grandfathered in so you don't have to dial 715.  It just seems like the respectful thing to do.  It is an island unto itself.

That really threw me when I moved here a few months ago. I always dialed the area code out of habit, then someone told me you didn't have to. Now I'll have to switch back. When will the inevitable forced dialing of 218 occur?

To answer Adam's question, I don't think this applies to Superior people calling Duluth, but I think it applies to Superior people calling each other.

Shit this sucks, the Mr works in Supetown and it's programmed into my cell phone without the area code. Argh. I hate bureaucracy.

First-world problems.

I'm never going to Superior again.

Does this only apply to landlines? I called Godfather's over the weekend with my cell and only made connection with the 715.

I just read this story in the paper (Sawyer Country Record), but this is happening all over Wisconsin -- 10-digit dialing. Here's the press release from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin.

I don't understand what's going on, but I assume that it somehow is linked to cell phone usage.

Thanks for posting this. I think I got a letter from Qwest talking about blah, blah, blah, changes, blah, Superior, blah, blah, and I threw it away without reading it.

My main point being that you did a much better job of getting to the point.

Two more reasons to place calls to Superior: to pre-order Shamrock pizzas and Anchor Burgers.

p.s. I just saw an insane drunken Polish sailor pay for his drink at the Anchor by handing the bartender his entire wallet, so suck it Superior haters. Plus he's tickling female customers with a seagull feather.

With this and the near smoking ban, Superior is basically dead to me.
