Yesterday's Discoveries

Even before moving here, I had been warned about Camden, New Jersey.  As in, drive through it and don't get out of your car.

Wikipedia even says, "Although once a thriving center for manufacturing and industry, Camden is perhaps best known for its struggles with urban dysfunction. "

Despite this warning, it should come as no shock to those who know me that I went there yesterday.  And got out of my car.  The entire purpose of the trip was to acquire and E-ZPass tag so that I don't have to stop every morning to the pay the $4 toll for crossing the Walt Whitman Bridge.  Mostly so that I don't have to stop, which does save a bit of time, but also because there are discounts for high usage.  It's also helpful for me who does not generally have cash on me.

Since I was in a hurry to leave yesterday in time to get to the E-ZPass Customer Service Center, I forgot to grab my USB charger cord for my iPhone.  It wasn't a problem in terms of the charge left on my phone.  I however had not yet taken the time to research what could potentially be "good" radio stations (good being relative to personal tastes of course), and had been playing music off of my iPhone playlist while in the car.

For some reason I tend to find it interesting to see what the difference is in radio stations that have the same number.  I think that the biggest difference in genre was 97.1.  I was actually pleasantly surprised to determine that between the local 93.3, 102.1  and 106.1 that I could pretty much find


DFW:
93.3 - i93
97.1 - The Eagle
102.1 - The Edge
106.1 - Kiss FM


Philly
93.3 - Everything that Rocks
97.1 - Christian Music Radio
102.1 - Q102: All the Hits
106.1 - Mix
