Tonight’s 60 Minutes focuses on Wilmington, Ohio
In 1980, Airborne Express turned Wilmington’s abandoned Air Force base into a hub for overnight shipping. Eight thousand people found work at what they call “the air park.” Then, in 2003 a German company, DHL, bought Airborne in an effort to win a big piece of the U.S. market. It didn’t work. The merger was rocky, there were service disruptions were delayed, and customers left in droves. With last fall’s economic crash, DHL was losing $6 million a day in the U.S.; layoffs started coming by the hundreds.

Excuse me, what? An ape can’t logic like a human being can? How long has logic been a verb? Obviously, the author of this article is smarter than me. I just can’t logic the way he does.
An awesome re-use of old architecture: a church made into a bookstore. The two-story steel structure in the center is self-supporting, so all original walls are intact, untouched, and preserved as they originally were.
Picture yourself in a boat on the river, looking up at orange, red, green, blue, pink or white lights from the Roebling Suspension Bridge cutting across the skies. Those multiple colors might happen.
I’m back in town, starting back at school and work, and planning for my radio show which will launch one week from Friday.
