Date: 09/12/20 08:30 Re: ussc Author: RuleG What is USSC?
In what state(s) is/are Clewiston and Fort Pierce are located? Date: 09/12/20 09:04 Re: ussc Author: Lackawanna484 The US Sugar Company used to run up to Fort Pierce FL on Mondays and Wednesdays, leaving Clewiston around breakfast time. Arriving FEC-Fort Pierce in the mid-afternoon. This is the off-season for sugar harvesting, so it is likely that schedule has changed.
I haven't been up there in a while, this info is from last year. Date: 09/12/20 10:34 Re: ussc Author: retcsxcfm Try map quest. Duh

Very often, places in different states can have the same place names, so I am not going to waste time looking up something on mapquest in the absence of other geographic information. Recently, I started threads mentioning a couple of smaller communities in Pennsylvania. Knowing that not all TO members are familiar with Pennsylvania places, I specified the state in the subject line. It is not unreasonable to expect others to do the same when lesser-known places are mentioned in threads. Date: 09/13/20 04:01 Re: ussc Author: sums007 RuleG Wrote:

I do feel, though, that unlike the "duh" comment, posters don't do this out of malice. It's just an oversight on their part. The issue comes up occasionally, as long-timers on here know. |
