Calling Old Numbers In Ads [telecom]

Reportedly the oldest continuously-operating telephone number in the NANP is (212) PEnylvania6-5000 -- which was immortalized in the 1940 hit song by that name and recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra:

The song lyrics were inspired by the telephone number for New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, where the Glenn Miller Orchestra often played. This July 18-20 the Hotel Pennsylvania will host HOPE X -- the tenth Hackers On Planet Earth conference, where thousands of hackers and telecom phreaks and geeks and will hear approx 100 speakers, participate in many workshops, projects, and many other fun things.

(It's been rumored there'll be a presentation about the history of the Telephone Digest by its editor at HOPE X...)
