Flyin' In Style

I'm on my 1st work trip of the new year. I had a nice long break and was starting to get too comfortable at home, so they decided it was time to put me on the move again.

The most exciting thing that happened to me all day was that I got upgraded to first class. First Class people! I have never, ever ridden in first class before, so of course I had to get evidence:

Michael said it was a disgrace that I did not order an entree or any adult beverages.

The second most exciting thing that happened all day (ignoring the about 50 times I took wrong turns during the long, scary drive here from the airport) was this little guy was anxiously awaiting to welcome me to my room:



This trip's clues:

• The city I flew into is known for its cheese steaks and soft pretzels.
  
• The state I'm in is home to this University.
  
• The area I am in is infamous for these fools.
  
• The town I'm in has nothing notable. The only thing wikipedia had for me is that this semi-famous (as in probably D list) individual is from here.
