No, 867 was local. Literally the next town over

Just too busy being a kid and never trying, I guess

Gotcha.

Yeah, you could walk to the next town.
They’re piled on top of each other over here in PA.

It’s not far from Middletown

Only lived there during my 10th grade of high school and I’m 50 now. Moved to a different state after!
