New York? Hell, Dartmouth Ma. was far enough away.
Reminds me of the two old geezers on the waterfront in Camden Maine talking about the worlds fair:
Cap'n Barter, "I hear they are gonna have that world fair down in Tenneessee this year."
Cap'n Ames, "Ayuh, I dont know why they couldn't have it in Bangor so everyone could go to it." *
