    We actually just got our yellow pages in the mailbox last week or the week before, I think. I was baffled. I was like they still MAKE these?

    Shit was no thicker than an old GamePro magazine. Just the businesses who are still buying ads I guess.

        THEY ARE lol, we actually kept it because we couldn’t believe it. No intention to ever look at the thing, just a “how funny is this” moment.

          I found a recent WhitePages at my dad’s place and I was kind of shocked to see it. I started flipping through the front of the book and actually there was a lot of great info in there, I was really surprised. A map of the local area codes, a map of the major highway systems, local arena seating plans, an emergency preparedness checklist, contact information for emergency services, contact information for each town, etc. etc.

          It was almost enough to make me consider buying one, at least once. Almost.
