Cara; out here it can be catty corner or kitty corner. And I know what you mean about the soda pop thing! When we moved to New England I thought a soda was a drink with ice cream in it. We always said pop. since my return to the west five years ago, though, I notice people here are starting to say soda, too.

My niece when at CU in Boulder had a new roommate from Boston. She was totally floored one time when her roomy said she was going down to the "packy" to pick up a "ringer". She was going to the package/liquor store to pick up a six-pack of beer!

A lot of the early pioneers in my part of Colorado were from down South, mine included, I wonder if they brought "crick" with them?
