The last time I was in northern New Jersey, Warwick Valley Telephone Company still supported five digit dialing across area codes!
People could dial 4nnnn to be connected to 973-764-nnnn (a New Jersey area code). They could also dial 6nnnn to be connected to 845-986-nnnn (a New York area code). There were about 15 different short codes across two area codes.
There are a lot of these little regional telephone quirks across America, and I think every one of them is awesome.
