<p>For me, the best part about Penn/Calumet was having a local place to grab rental equipment last-minute. Since the closing, Jerry (the tall guy who ran the rental department) has established <a href="http://f8rentals.com/">F8 Rentals</a> (also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/f8rentals">on Facebook</a>) based in Reston, VA. Definitely worth checking out if you need something fast and can't/don't want to wait for a mail-order rental to arrive.<br>
