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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But while creating imaginary airports, or small towns, or even, sometimes, entire obscure nations, is within the rules of the game, taking something that exists in the real world and modifying it that greatly feels like a cheat.
Huh. Of course, I lost track of the reason they were in Baltimore anyway.

Something like...the real geographical distance betwen Baltimore and Princeton? And the existance of the Acela train's first class car, which is ever so much more comfortable than any airplane, especially for someone with chronic pain who might need to get up and walk around?
(I mean, I get what he's saying, but I think there are more people from Maryland and/or New Jersey than there are people who know where Medicaid's offices are. IJS.)

Oh, me too, don't worry. It just always amuses me when TV writers staunchly defend a decision to bend this bit of reality, while at the same time saying that it it would be unacceptable cheating to have bent that one instead.

I promise that I will never do that.
I'm just going to say, "Yeah, my boss rewrote that part."

Of course I'm from Arizona so getting to a different state takes 6 hours.

I say "problematical" because I'm from New Jersey,

Sigh. Too easy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think we made it from Phoenix to Laughlin, NV in four. And that was with a lunch stop in Wikieup--admittedly, there's nothing else in between but a bunch of cactus.
