Reply to If you've been to an airshow in Pennsylvania, chances are you heard the voice of Howdy McCann announcing. Howdy passed away on March 9, 2023 at the age of 71. He was the announcer for airshows in Allentown, Avoca, Indiana, Latrobe, Reading, and many others across the region and country. by new_tanker

The last airshow he announced was in Leesburg, Virginia in September 2022. This was the final act he called, from up close and from behind the crowd line.

Reply to Why are there seagulls in central PA all of a sudden? by TxGinger587

I grew up in central PA, about an hour-ish south of williamsport, and would see gulls all the time. Hell, I’m in WI now and I just saw some migrating the other day. They’re kind of an everywhere bird. Seagull is a misnomer. There’s even an argument amongst the bird people that gulls shouldn’t be called seagulls bc of the fact they don’t solely live by seas and oceans.
I like to call them seagulls at the beach and gulls everywhere else bc its fun that way lol

Are you sure? The Pacific Northwest has Idaho, and Montana is home to one of the main organizers of the Charlottesville, VA debacle.

While the Pacific Northwest is put down for its liberal big cities, step outside Seattle and Portland, and they have more than their fair share of Aryan Nation jerks with the added northwest twist of trying to justify it using their Norse heritage (as the northwest received a huge influx of immigrants from the Nordic countries).
