Thanks for the detailed reply Scott!
The problem is I am flying into Philadelphia and I am not sure which other
places I will head to, atleast not yet. It will most definitely be NJ and
NY.
I guess it was convenience of having the information in one place and a
quick way of getting to it that prompted me to make the post.
BTW: The WA store is not on the website anywhere. Which made me think that
there are other entries that are missing. I cannot believe that they dont
have the resources for a simple web site update! Seeing the current state of
corporate America that should not be surprising...
