#6  Almost correct. New corpoate HQ is being built in Texas and the future relo's have been told. The reason is Illinois taxes, (and the upward spiral of never endibg tax increases), pension and debt crises, fees and corruption. Be sure to thank a Democrat.

#5  In related corporate relocating news, The Boeing Company, (formerly of Seattle and at one time maker of the best jets in the world), is 'transferring' over a 1000 engineering jobs out of WA and into SC, TX and CA (dunno why, there unless they get a stupidity tax break). According to the Seattle Times the BCAC says they will save a big bundle of cash over retaining the jobs in WA.

#3  Stay away from Carolina BBQ and you'll be fine.
Develop a taste for Grits, it's not difficult, start with cheese and then progress to lightly salted purity. And choose early between the Wreck and the Dawgs and don't change your mind even on the rack.
