Someone told me Norfolk (Nor-Folk) as we pronounce it up here is "Nor-Fick" down there. True?

I was told by some of the guys at north app in FXCO that manassas was looking at buying it for the airport, anyone know if they are still looking for a piece at all?

[/quote] They dumped the idea. Politics.

For all you Virginians keeping track on rosters. I was just on ebay. The old Fairfax County, VA. Foam 26 E\-One Titan is listed for sale there. Asking $110,000. In the information it states that it is currently 25 miles outside of Savannah, GA. at a Shop. So, I'm guessing a dealer had purchased it.

[/quote] Damn it went for 35k at auction

If you replace the "i" with a "u" that is closer to our pronunciation! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Yesterday morning several of us met at the local Pierce Dealer and shot photos of two new pieces that had arrived.



The first one was Newport News, VA 2012 Pierce Tower 1.



All my photos.
