I work in the NY Headquarters (not megan's), and we're on the formal end of business casual (no suits, but khakis would be inappropriate), but the other half of the staff in Smaller Midwestern City are pretty casual most of the time, because of course it's the CEO that cares what we wear, and she's here in NY. No denim and no flip-flops are the two things that come up the most in conversation.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm being thwarted in my quest for bbq. Grrrrrrrrr.
Argh! That just reminded me I forgot to offer bbq as a lunch option to my parents! Ah well, we went a place I that I knew and everyone liked, so all was well.
What is the difference between a tailored suit and a non-tailored suit? Is "non-tailored" the same as "off the rack"?
I'm guessing they're getting at style there, as in a traditional look, though I'd be hard pressed to articulate the alternative.
They don't want people showing up in track suits?
Well, I guess I could kinda see for women, because I've seen some crazy "suits" out there...but men? I mean, that's not going to rule out crazy colors, which is the only crazy men's suit style I can think of...
What is the difference between a tailored suit and a non-tailored suit? Is "non-tailored" the same as "off the rack"?
I'm guessing a tailored suit means jacket, pants, shirt and tie (and vest?) that match vs coordinates (dress pants and sport coats) that might be seen as more casual. Also, it's suiting material vs. cotton, tweed, cordoroy.

All but 3.5 years of my life have echoed with trains. In both houses I grew up in, the sound of the freight whistle and track rumble were constants. In the last house, I could stand in the front and watch a train track across the valley below, its whistle slowly reaching me. Today, I live along a freight line and the passage of the train rattles my wineglasses. I barely notice, but when I do, it never fails to elicit smile.
I can't imagine not hearing the call of trains. t /random
