Street
the 404
What does the 404 mean?
The original Atlanta area code, now reserved for the city proper after 770, 678 and 470 got carved off for the suburbs. Claiming 404 means you're from the actual city, not OTP. It's a flex.
"Don't tell me about Atlanta, I'm 404 since birth."
Origin
Atlanta got 404 in 1947; surrounding areas split off in the '90s, leaving 404 as the city-core code. Codified in rap (Ludacris' label '404 Camp,' countless lyrics).
