 GEOG: Casey Carlyle lives with her mother in Connecticut and goes to  a skating competition in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania (as declared on  a banner seen in a shot), leaving her disapproving mother at home.  Of course, her mother has a change of heart, and remarkably, she  makes the 200 mile trip (which passes through a congested New York,  by the way) leaving Connecticut after the competition has begun and  arriving in time to see her daughter skate.
