Suggestion: Tag your posts for local meetups and things with your airport code. Example: Toronto is #YYZ, and Vancouver is #YVR. Then you can search your local airport code to find local people.
@Canageek It's not a bad idea, although I do spend an awful lot of time flying between #ISP or #JFK and #BWI, and right now I'm with my girlfriend near #JAC
@filkerdave Oh yeah, but it still works better then names, since there can be multiple ways of spelling them. Also I'm technically in Burnaby, but I could count that as part of Vancouver, etc.
