I'm flying over there tomorrow for work and will likely have Wednesday evening open before I fly out Thursday morning... Long shot and short notice, just figured I'd ask, I'm not often on the east coast and don't really pay attention to where people are... :) If not, no worries...

I’m 30 minutes North of there. @PetroleumJunkie412 is closer. @lil_Blue_Ford about 30 minutes further North than me. @JohnnyO is across the river.

Depending on timing and where you are going to be, I might be able to meet up with you for a bit. Depending on what the others have for a schedule, we might be able to make a mini meet out of it.

I’m actually about 40 minutes from the city, almost directly North. It can take longer if you don’t know some of the shortcuts or hit bad traffic. Unfortunately, I’m only able to drive a few miles at most right now so I’d have to find a ride or something, but I’d be up for meeting and hanging out a bit.

I figured as much but I didn’t want to assume or speak for you.

Let me know when and where but my wife has been out of town dealing with her folks' health issues a couple counties away and might come home tomorrow for a day since the weather on Thursday is supposed to be crap. Also she has my Ranger since our dog has a series of appointments at the vet so I am banished to the minivan for that. 92 lb greyhounds don't fit in the back of a Ranger Supercab.
There are several Primanti Brothers in the city and suburbs or if you are near the city, Big Jim's in Greenfield.
JohnnyO will never steer you wrong when it comes to food.

I'm staying at the Hyatt at the airport but where I'm going is down south near Metz WV... supposedly I might be redirected to Anaheim CA afterward but hopefully not..

Sounds like a regular deployment with the military. You never know what’s going on for sure until you get there and even then, it could change in a moment’s notice.

Happens a lot. Out-of-staters don't have a concept of how large PA is.
My Regional Manager: "I'm going to come out and visit your office."
Me: "Okay."
RM: "How far are you from Philly?" (Our Philly office is a bunch of f*cktards and they can't keep employees so he's there a lot.)
Me: "6 hours."
RM: "Oh."
I haven't seen him in 2 years. :p

Anyone familiar with Pennsylvania would never mistake Philthadephia with Pittsburgh. And no, I didn’t spell it wrong by accident. Philadelphia is a hive of scum and villainy.
