Reply to comment by dissolutewastrel in All Hail the Hoagie by dissolutewastrel

I saw a U.S. linguistics map once with the term usage for a hoagie. The rest of the country represented big geographical patches for every other term.

However, hoagie was only used within approximately a 60-mile radius of CC. And it proves fairly accurate in my case here about 12 miles north of the Lehigh Tunnel. I go up to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to eat sometimes and you won't see hoagie used there much.

The one for NFL allegiances created from FB data by county represented a somewhat similar extent. Where the hoagie goes, so go the Birds apparently.

when i saw that line, i was more so thinking-- whose got italian hoagies down the block for $5? cheapest hoagie i can think of near me is $6, and its an 8" banh mi, modestly filled, a fine deal. cheapest italian hoagie i can think of near me might be ~$12ish? and its 12", obviously much more meat than the banh mi, about what you'd expect from your place down the block

Reply to Street Parkers who brought beautiful new cars… are you happy with you purchase? by aranhalaranja

My biggest regret is not spending a little more for a more robust/reliable car. Not that the car itself isn't reliable but I've had two "accidents" (one a straight up hit and run) that were not my fault that have been extra annoying because the maker in question cut corners making future expenses. Lesson learned for me.

All to say, this city is destined to destroy your car wherever you park it. So I wouldn't spend too much, but I wouldn't drop down to a cheap car because of it. You'll pay the piper either way.
