Huh. I Googled a little more, and my birth hospital was the only hospital between Pittsburgh and Cincinatti when it opened in 1850.
Which is even cooler/stranger when you realize it was in Virginia at the time.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

That's a weird stat. I mean, I can't work out if it's good or bad.
Good, in that prepared for shit-to-go-down way?

IIRC, it's on Broadway. But I don't know anyone who was born there, nor even whether they have a Maternity unit.My dh was born there. I have no idea if they still have a materinity unit, though.
I think the name of my hospital's street might well be Hospital Hill, which well. Just no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, it seems you'd have no waiting -- but that's a lot of emptiness.
Two things I must note:
- My computer is very slow
- Announcing you have a new catchphrase and including the etymology when no one asked is LAME.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In his novel Crash J.G. Ballard talks about the many many empty beds at the airport hospital, all basically waiting for a major disaster.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm Pretty Boy Vogler. Huh. Or Snooky Vogler.
Is it just me or does this sound like a hobbit porn name?

Did anyone watch 24 last night?
Dh knew Erin's daughter was going to off herself. I figured she was just slipping free, and going to wreak havoc in CTU, before being shipped off to a private hospital. I felt so bad for Erin, and I don't even like Erin. Curtis turned out to be more than a computer geek. I loved it. Dinah is a liar pants, but we knew that. I'm so glad Tony has been around. I wish they'd bring Michelle back, too.

I had a vague notion of the hospital's name, but Google suggests the vague notion is wrong.
Me too. It annoyed me enough that I felt compelled to call my mother and ask her.
I'm sorry but Main Street does not lend itself to a fun name. I'll stick with India, thanks.

Do hobbits have porn? I thought they just smoked pipeweed and fumbled in their breeches.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cindy, I thought the same thing you did about Erin's daughter, and so I was really shocked by the ending.
Still loving this season.
