Why Metro Bowling Green Has 2 Area Codes

When a region uses more numbers than one code can hold, new codes are overlaid on the same territory rather than forcing anyone to change numbers. Metro Bowling Green now uses 270 and 364: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.
