P.S. - Just how "international" is this airport? Other than the Toronto (if they still do that route) what international direct routes does NapTown have?

International in an airport name just means the airport is equipped with the ability to handle international flights, i.e. they have customs and immigration facilities available. It doesn't mean that there are any actual international flights ever scheduled. It can also refer to the ability to handle international cargo. Indianapolis airport is considered a port of entry in the United States, thus they can refer to the airport as an international airport. Besides the fact they take commercial flights to and from Toronto, they have international cargo flights every day. There are numerous airports across the country with the designation of international without having any international commercial flights.

And I don't think anybody is confusing IND with LGA.

Thank you for that explanation, and after thinking about it I was aware of the international cargo flights that are here.

Okay, this has been beaten to death I know, but are you referring to Naptown or the 9 county metropolitan area as having 1.9 million people?? Please, correct me if I'm wrong but it does seem a bit high perhaps?

He's referring to the Indy MSA, as defined by the OMB.

The metro. If we were talking about city populations, Indianapolis would be more than twice the size of Minneapolis.

First off I never said it was an exclusive Indiana thing. Someone else posted it bothered them. I personally dont care but noticed it is a thing here. Another poster said they do this the Detroit area. I have never seen any pizza place including Dominio's cut a round pizza into squares (with the exclusion of square pizzas).

Pizza places only do it with thin crust pizza's and even then, only some of them do it. I'm guessing that they do this in Detroit, but the cut originated in Chicago, I think.

^ I think you are right however the pizza places I have been to in Chicago cut the pizza, pie style. Didn't notice it until I moved here. Its funny if you google cutting pizza into squares people really get worked up over it! I dont really mind it myself, I eat less pizza for some reason. Can't imagine adding that to a list of things you hate about a place. Now I will gripe finding a good pie in Indiana can be difficult.

Uh oh, the emoticons are out. We officially have a thread worked up over how a pizza is cut.
