Bun B and the Astros just added a trill way for you to rep the city beyond our unofficial holiday.
HOUSTON, Texas -- It's that time of year again. Houston's unofficial holiday, 713 Day, has arrived to celebrate the first digits the Bayou City was assigned.
If you're not familiar with how Houston started off as the 713, when area codes first came to North America in 1947, Texas was designated for four sets of codes.Of course, the area's growth has boomed since then and continues to do so, with the additional numbers of 281, 832 and 346 being assigned over the years.Plus, the other codes just don't work with the calendar, right?
Events pop up all over town in honor of the day. Here are a few of the highlights, but if you know of one that should be added, let us know.Bun B hinted at it last week when he threw the first pitch at the Astros game. During the outing, the rapper wore a black hat with a"Trill OG" crest on the front and the Astros logo in gold on the side.
