Since I scooped boots with another thread, here is the one I posted a bit ago. No one posted on that either, apparently it isn't much a hot spot (but no JRC/Trentonian either).

It's not a great area, although the D-Rays are going to start holding their spring training there next season, I think.

I saw a copy once when down there that had things like Northeastern college hockey scores and standings. I was told it was for the big snowbird population that comes down from the NE for winter.
