The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I think there could still be more than one of us from PA. I believe both York and Philly were capitals of the great USA. I think there is at least one Philadelphian in this BIF. I know for sure there is one from York.

 

Sounds like Bush and Hobby to me...ho buddy, if this is me, I am beyond excited. I have no idea what that seasonal is though at the moment...must research.

 

Hint #1: Shipped to a state that joined the union before mine
Hint #2: Shipped to a state where the Rolling Stones have played live
Hint #3: Shipped to a state with more consonants than vowels in its name
Hint #4: Shipped to a state where The Doors played more than a dozen times
Hint #5: Shipped to a state where the Beatles played live
Hint #6: Shipped to a city with more than one daily newspaper
Hint #7: Shipped to a city that was once the capital of the US
Hint #8: Shipped to a major hog-producing region

Okay, I think that nailed it.

 

What's worse than flying to Detroit. Being stuck in philly international for an extra 4 hours. At least the mobile app will keep me company.

 

Hmmmm.....while I hope it's you, I hope it's not because I will be out of town the latter part of that week with no one to repair my porch.

Edit: DFW and Love.....

 

4 boxes just dropped off at Fedex -- two for my target, one for my trade partner, and one with my kid's boots. Hopefully I put the right shipping label on the right box :-)

I have four tracking numbers, but none of them are offiically in Fedex's system yet, so I don't know which is which -- once I do I will torture my target.

And I DID have a tiny bit of extra room in one box, so I ended up with 397 ounces, including 11 wants.

 

Yeah, I'm from Philly (but know my sender) and @ninjembro is from York.

Yup, definitely Philly... mmmmm scrapple. I love that I have TWO senders this round!

 

Chickie's and Pete's bar at the airport is your friend.

 

Wrong gate, plus they aren't as good here. Had an airport chickies and petes before leaving for France and it was terrible.

 

I know someone else from York!!!!!

 

Box dropped off and was adjusted for weight ... 48lbs!!!

Good thing it's a 2 day delivery to my target in the Central Time Zone.

 

Chickies is so over-rated, that its scary. Crab fries!! OMG!

They are frickin old bay fries w/ white american cheese sause... Woopedydoo.

There is a better bar in walking distance of every location I can think of.

 

The journey to Downers Grove, Illinois has begun.

 

Settle down guys, I just meant for some beer, and in 4 hours you can get from one gate to the other

 

I'm too much of a flying nerd. Immediately thought of DFW/Love as well as IAH/Hobby (do people actually call IAH Bush?).

 

Already used a couple of those 4 hours already.

 

Everyone calls it Bush in Houston...

 

I think @heystevec is closer/in Baltimore, but keep in mind that Annapolis was capital of the country for almost a year as well...

 

I also thought of BWI/Dulles, OHare/Midway, JFK/Laguardia/Newark, Philly/Lehigh Valley

 

Interesting. Been in Houston for probably a sum total of less than a week and flown in/out of IAH 4 times or so (so not very long trips), but hadn't heard it called Bush.

I used to live near DCA and flew out of their every week or every other week for about 4 years. Depending on when the person got to DC, the airport was called either National, Reagan, DC (because obviously Dulles doesn't count), or DCA (if you flew too much and didn't want to have the conversation about the name of the airport again).
