Hoggies (Philadelphia, October 1945); Submarine (Baltimore, 1941)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Greetings from NYC and a few hours of Amtrak sleep.
   The Library of Congress was very frustrating.  Some phone books were
microfilmed, and some were in the original in the local history/genealogy
division.  But you don't know what is where, or if it's anywhere.  I couldn't
get Boston, Mass., phonebooks at all.  I couldn't get New London, CT, and New
Haven, CT, phonebooks at all.
   I went through Baltimore phonebooks to check for "submarine."  I also went
through Philly phonebooks in 1949 and 1953 and found a heaven of hoggies
(usually that spelling).  I then requested 1939-1945.  I was brought 1939 &
1945.  "Sandwiches" are there in 1939 and "hoggie" is there in 1945.  When I
went to request 1940-1944 again, I was told it's past 7:30 p.m. to make
requests.
  Whatever.  Here goes:
