I've been through 5 airports on my way to Portland ME and back again. Seattle is the nicest. - Subversive Jan 13, 20:33 25

        note: it is only in one of the garages. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 21:10
    - I *far* prefer small airports. one minute for security at SCE vs. 20 minutes at PHL or PIT? yeah, I'll take SCE. - amanda Jan 13, 20:38
