National Airport

What the locals call Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Congress can go through a frenzy of renaming things after its conservative idols if it wants, but the airport in question is in one of the bluest counties in the commonwealth. National it was, National it stays in our hearts, minds, and vernacular. When someone talks about flying into/out of “Reagan,” we know we’re dealing with an “other.”

Plus Norfolk=nawfuk

Louisville=Loo-i-vull but never Loo-ee-vill

New Orleans can be at lot of things as long as it isn’t New Or-LEENZ. What are you, some kind of Yankee? Jeez. Ohio is thataway.
