Now this is a great poll because I've actually been wondering about the demographics of OGR. Sometimes I get the idea that 90% of you folks live near York PA.
Yep, 20 min. away!
Great idea, Drew! Nice to know where we call home. I'm located in the Mid Atlantic area (New Jersey to be specific). Now don't think that we're all like the "Jersey Shore" crowd - far from it. More like Tony Soprano's crowd!!
Great shop to visit if you're in this area is "The Hobby Shop" in Aberdeen, NJ - (MTH Superstore).
why?
Check my handle and figure it out.

I don't want to be contrary, but the mid-atlantic usually consists of DE, MD, VA, and WV as well. (I did vote using the existing map)
That said, I live in beautiful Frederick County, about 50 miles north of D.C. and 40 miles west of Baltimore.
Also, happen to be about 65 miles from York and hope to someday go there for that little train activity that I've heard so much about!

I'm not a big 6th Street fan, too much of a zoo for this geezer anymore. I'm an old time dance hall kind of guy. More of a Broken Spoke/Armadillo type. Armadillo's gone, Broken Spoke now gettin' squoze out by greedy developers. The way of life.

Agreed John. Actually, Ohio and Pennsylvania should be their own regions for this poll's purpose.
