One thing I've gotten good at is finding holes in definitions. My latest accomplishment:
If you say Illinois is landlocked, your definition of landlocked probably also includes Italy.

What's the smallest city and/or metro area with a major sports team? If I had to guess it'd be Green bay with 107k city and 320k metro population.

Upon further inspection, two things:
1. Some of the locations listed on their website for online ordering are actually closed
2. There are seemingly locations in the new york and philly areas that are open, but aren't on boson markets online ordering system
Per reviews, food is dry and not good.

From what I can tell there's only 10 Boston markets left in the US, with 4 of them in Philly, 2 in the Philly burbs (1 of which is in NJ), 1 in Buffalo, 1 in Newark (the other one), 1 in Cleveland's burbs, and finally one in Chicago's burbs (Melrose park).
I might have to make a pilgrimage.

Fun fact: there are 158 train numbers reused by Metra across different lines. Seemingly the biggest "offender" is the Metra electric. While most of these trains with shares numbers operate at different time, some overlap (sometimes completely).
This has made my life hell as a developer.

Seems like ORD's traffic growth has held steady, while DEN's shrinkage is slowing (but is still shrinkage), and DFW is shrinking faster. These are comparisons of the YTD numbers with the same ones last year.
