I grew up in that area. Do you think there is a connection between Alexandria, Virginia; carp; feet, and your upbringing in that area? Yeah, it has to do with an area that is wealthier than McLean and Great Falls. Whatever. Don't believe me check it out yourself. From Alexandria south on the parkway to Rt 1 is a very pricey area and has been for about 45 years.. Yes, I know. We have some friends that lived south of Alexandria in a very tony area, What that has to do with a salon offering carp bowls for removal of dead toe skin escapes my imagination. Northern Virginia is just too damned congested these days for decent quality of life. When I had my office on the edge of Alexandria, it took me 15 minutes to drive over to a local coffee shop that was only three miles away. I have a number of friends who live throughout Northern Virginia. We meet in DC these days. BTW, did you know the Springfield area of Fairfax County is pretty much *run over with MS-13 gang members these days? You won't catch me moving to No. Va. again. When I move it will be East until Assawoman Bay or South, 200 or more miles. When we go out to the Shenandoah, I try to get through the Northern Virginia portion of I-66 as quickly and quietly as possible. We start to breathe a little easier once we are west of Manassas. Once in a while my wife likes to shop at some of the stores at Tysons...I hate going there...but there are three stores at that mall with some appeal for me...restoration hardware, ll bean, and apple. I usually can kill enough time to match up with my wife's shopping. If it going to be a really long day, I head over to Microcenter, but, nowadays, if I need computer stuff, I hit the Microcenter store on Rockville Pike. We still like Virginia Beach, but we head down there through southern Maryland, and avoid the *Virginia I-95 and Richmond messes. We're looking at some second home possibilities in the Hilton Head to Savannah areas. The problem is, it is one hell of a long drive. Flying is a possibility, but the airports in that area are dinky, and so are the planes. We like St. Simons Island in Georgia, but it is awfully far from just about everything and living there would probably drive me bonkers.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Bull****. Savannah's airport handles all types of heavy passenger aircraft, and is quite busy because of military bases in the area. |

When I want the opinion of an uneducated, semi-literate idiot, I'll let you know. I flew into Savannah recently, and have done so about a half dozen times. It's a dinky airport. Savannah, though, is a very nice city. Ohhhh, now I understand what you are looking for in a city. A city with really big airport buildings. I thought you meant an airport that was serviced on a regular basis by large planes. Savannah can handle and has regular service by carriers using 727 etc, but the airport building themselves are not as big as Atlanta, Chicago or NYC. You really do have unique requirements for places to live. How big is the airport in Costa Rica? |

The major airlines are crappy enough...their "partners" are far worse. United Express, operated by Mesa Airlines US Airways Express Delta, via "Freedom" Airlines AirTran, from the wonderful folks who brought you ValuJet Now, there are a couple of mainstays sprinkled about, but the majority of the schedules indicate Savannah is a minor regional airport, just as I described it. As for the rest of your schitty opinion, well, you deserve the usual...go foch yourself. |

It's an international airport. Just because your local airport of choice isn't serviced well, doesn't mean that Savannah is a minor regional airport. And, US Airways, not express offers non-stop to Washington Reagan, and there are many major airlines that can get you there with a change of planes, non of which are puddle jumpers, but common carrier aircraft. |

If Gulfstream wasn't headquartered in Savannah that airport wouldn't support much more than a Cessna 182. I've flown into and out of the airport serving Savannah at least a half dozen times over the years. It's a small "regional" airport, not the smallest or crummiest, just small. I don't understand why the two Georgian troll brothers, Loogy-between-the-Ears and Repulsive-Putrid-Schitt, are working so hard to defend the airport. It serves its market and if it were a lot larger, it would just encourage more growth in that part of the state. That's no advantage. One would hope it would never become another Atlanta airport, which gets my vote for the worst large airport in the United States. It exists as it is only for the convenience of the airlines, and once you are there, if you are not changing planes, where are you? In Atlanta. Puke. I work hard when I fly to avoid the Atlanta airport. |

As for the rest of your schitty opinion, well, you deserve the usual...go foch yourself. Well I guess you are will never find that perfect place. Reminds me of a story about a farmer sitting on his front porch, during the early 1900's A man in a wagon loaded down with all of his belongings, stops and come up to the farmer. He asked the farmer what the people of the town are like. The farmer replies, "well son, what were they like where you came from. The traveler says, well that is why I am moving, the people were rude, self centered, assholes. The farmer said, "well they are about the same way here". So the traveler got back in his wagon and continued heading west. A few days later, another man come by, his wagon loaded with all of his belongings, and he asked the same question. Again the farmer replied "well son, what were they like where you moved from". The traveler got a tear in his eye, said "That was the hardest part about moving West, is we are leaving some of the nicest, most helpful and concerned neighbors anyone could ask for". The farmer smiled back and said "Son, I think you will find the people here are about the same". Harry, have you ever noticed that no matter where you go, everyone is an asshole? |

Regarding airports.............when traveling to Boston I always preferred to fly into Providence, RI vs Boston Logan. I always hated to fly into Chicago and would drive their foregoing the flight. I never had a problem with Atlanta and it's airport although it is not a place I would choose to live. Harry, have you ever noticed that no matter where you go, everyone is an asshole? I think Tom stated the same thing about drivers in Virginia. He made a similar comment about folks in another State some months back. I missed your post to Tom asking that same question. ;-) BTW: Does John Herring live in Virginia? |
