Morgantown and Butler County are dry meaning no alcohol sales are allowed. Bowling Green is the closest city that allows alcohol sales.

Connect

By phone

Most telephone numbers in Morgantown, and in the rest of Butler County, consist of +1 270 plus a seven-digit number, but the area is now served by an overlay complex of two area codes, with +1 364 being the second. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).

Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 270 before these if no area code is indicated.

gollark: Kind of? I mean, I find those easier to debug, possibly just due to greater exposure.
gollark: Anyway, I remember working on this, and spending most of the time on it just debugging unintuitive type errors.
gollark: I think it complained when I tried that that I should move them back to files.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware it's probably horrible and not idiomatic.
