Chronology of Area Code 321


This page is made up of photos from the First Day of Service of Area Code 321 on 1999 November 01. Most are "screen shots" of video footage taken in Tallahassee FL at the Public Service Commission Hearing Room, or the Teleconference Center at the Kennedy Space Center. After all, the Countdown Capitol of the World deserves to have Area Code 321.
