With Brooklyn’s show gone, he said, and the Bronx already having its own — at least 81 nights a year at Yankee Stadium — Mr. Ames said he thought Queens deserved the next chance to emerge from Manhattan’s cultural shadow on the small screen.

I had a 718 area code growing up in Staten Island. My first cell phone number was 917. Then 646. Then 347. Then 703. Then 202.
