It’s about to get more difficult to find phone numbers in this city.

AT&T is closing its Chicago 411 office and axing 84 directory assistance operators, according to a filing with the state.

AT&T, a Dallas-based company, has been consolidating its directory assistance services for years.

It’s unclear how the shuttering will affect Chicago’s curious phone-number seekers.
