That would suck as a future, but, without more than one egg in one basket, there isn't much to look forward to. <BR/> We ned to generate something to look forward to other than recipes from economies past. They will not work in the future.<BR/> NYC had a few key industries go bad, they adapted. We need to adapt with what is here, there isn't ever going to be enough stimulus package to cover what ails us. There needs to be better thinking than this.<BR/> We can do it.NEW SOLUTIONS GROUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514949098996509838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-35751981280320294422009-02-16T14:31:00.000-06:002009-02-16T14:31:00.000-06:00I agree with you on everything here.

Are there good examples for metro areas like ours, that include two or more states? How about Louisville (KY-IN), Charlotte (NC-SC), Washington D.C. (DC-VA-MD), or others?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-43423416043157696182009-02-15T21:22:00.000-06:002009-02-15T21:22:00.000-06:00Your post brings St. Louis to mind.

Probably their sport teams were the deciding factor (big deal).<BR/>I like Memphis better.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607388015996166639noreply@blogger.com
