I don't see what's so unusual.  Los Angeles now has 213 and 818.  In a
short time, the 213 part of LA will be divided into 213 and 310.  The
Moderator and others have discussed at great length the division
between 312 and 708 (I think that's it).  While the division generally
follows the city limits of the city of Chicago, I seem to remember a
few exceptions.  Under the new plan for splitting 212, the split will
not be geographical.

I presume there are lots of exceptions.  Towns expand.  Area codes get
chopped up.  I don't think the list needs 100 messages on exceptions.
There must be a lot.
