<p>[QUOTE="ontime1969, post: 709158, member: 19596"]Long Island isn't that bad once you are east, your just talking about the largest suburb in the united states. Its once you get into Brooklyn and close to the city that the traffic gets really crazy. The L.I.E. can be ferocious but the Belt parkway is worst i think. getting out of LI can be tough during the busy times of weekdays. The nice thing about the area is the traffic reports are relatively good and up-to-date and there are many ways around most chock points. I truly think the traffic in DC is worst. the 495 beltway and 95 corridor is just a nightmare day of week and any hour. but of course that's the whole argument, DC traffic vs NY/LI. </p><p><br /></p><p>That show sounds exciting for sure, I have yet to be able to attend a large coin show like that. I think I would be a bit overwhelmed at first too. I'm glad that you had a successful show too. You mentioned how weird it was when you would ask a question and the dealer would be looking at someone else when answering, that is one of my wife's huge pet peeves. She deals with it well now that she is in her 30's. Her voice goes up 2 decibels and she reminds the salesmen in no short words who they need to be speaking with and where there eyes should be:kewl:. Most times it works right away, but I can't count how many times I have been rustled out of a store by her while she informs those around us why we are not spending our money in there. Its your money and your boss, remember this is a buyers market regardless of what some may say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
