That's probably like Pennsylvanians and Tastykakes. Either Bill Cosby or David Brenner (I forget which one) used to tell a story about coming back to LA with a suitcase full of Tastykake cakes and pies etc. and trying to explain to the police that they really weren't smuggling anything. They just missed the hometown snack. LOL They are good. |

My wife and I recently visited a couple that she had gone to high school with in Rockford, Illinois. The couple was down here on vacation. They brought several bags of Mrs Fisher's Potato Chips with them for my wife. It's a brand that is not available in this area and my wife dearly loves them. I can't think of any edible product that I'd like brought to me from my hometown of Indianapolis. Maybe a six-pack of Wiedemann's beer to see if it's a vile as people tell me. That was the cheap beer of choice when I (illegally age-wise) started drinking beer. At the time, all beer tasted vile to me, but it was "cool" to drink beer. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

My best friend in high school and I would take a quart of his Dad's Stegemeyer beer he brought home and drink it thinking we were so "cool". It definately isn't the best beer, but I liked it. In later years when I could legally buy it, Gennesee Cream Ale of New York was a favorite. Now, though, the best most consistently good beer I've found is Coors Original (Banquet Beer). I can identify with the potato chips too. We have a few favorite brands he: Martin's Kettle Cooked, Utz's, Herr's etc. |

On Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:48:09 -0500, Alan Browne NAWC Indy, I presume. I think so, but I'm not 100% sure. It was Navy, then Hughes, now Raytheon. Located on 21st st. Huge plant with the most amazing flooring system I've ever seen; acres of hardwood with about a foot of foundation to prevent any vibrations or resonance in the facillity. They built the Norden bombsights for use during WW II, but have a very different mission now. And there's a White Castle right around the corner on Shadeland Ave. Yep, sounds like NAWC Indy. They were de-governmentalized around 2001 or so with many of the government employees following into it. They tried to get me to bid our product against a long standing incumbent. (Who had a very good system, BTW). Would have required a pretty good NRE investment on our side (FFF), qualifying and then being permitted to bid. I asked them to pay the NRE to get us into competition (the usual way) and they refused. So I walked on it - they really just wanted to spook the incumbent's price down. -- gmail originated posts are filtered due to spam. |
