Yeah, everybody outside the perimeter was supposed to go from 404 to 770. For some reason Forest Park got to keep 404 from the start. I actually think that was due to Ft. Gillem and the Army not wanting to change their area code. Of course now it all has the 678 overlay, too. I remember in Thomaston all we used to have to dial at my grandmother's house were the last 4 digits of the number you wanted if it was a local call.
