>Now you can clarify the funny letter formations :-) :

NFTA

Niagara Falls Transit Authority

HSBC

Wellll.....the HSBC Arena in Buffalo is where the Sabers play.  HSBC is one
of the largest International banking firms in the world....but only someone
that's spent any amount of time in China on business is, likely to know that
HSBC is the "Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Company"!

LRV

"Light Rail Vehicle"

PCC

For this, you have to have a relative (my Cousin) that's anal about
streetcars and Inter-urbans...."PCC"=Electric Railway Presidents Conference
Committee....a group established by the streetcar firms in 25 major US
cities to standardize the design of electric streetcars!

Did I mention that no one ever beat me in "Trivial Pursuit"!
