My wife and I went on vacation along the Mendocino County coast last
weekend, and found another pocket of phones where 411 doesn't get you
information. The phone company is Continental Telephone. The card on
the payphone claims that 411 gets local directory assistance -- but
when I called 411, after a long delay, the recording asked me to check
the number again, because it wasn't in service! I tried 1-555-1212,
and reached directory assistance.
Mendocino County is a remote, backwater part of California, recently
occupied by the U.S. Army in the pursuit of marijuana.
