I'll check the politics at the door and just say that the way this state treats business is extremely frustrating.
Campbells soup still has there headquarters in Camden,NJ however they closed down the production factory some 10-12 years ago.I'll check the politics at the door and just say that the way this state treats business is extremely frustrating.
Campbell's Soup. They are closing their factory in Sacramento that was opened in 1947. This will SERIOUSLY affect the farms, trucking companys and obviously the 700 employees that are now out of a job. What a shame.

I remember as an early teen, going to a local pizza parlor, and seeing a jukebox.
That was 1980-81.
Of course my friends and I would play all the AC/DC and Who on it, despite what the other customers wanted to hear.
They tried to do that here, and I sent them away. We have an "opt out" provision, arrived at after a long and loud court battle with the state P-U-C, and if you don't want one of those things you don't have to get one. But you have to be home to catch the technician when they sneak thru your neighborhood to install it -- fortunately I was. Those things put out a barrage of AM radio interference, and have been implicated in several house fires around the state, so I told them to just get right in their truck and keep on going. My old Westinghouse meter remains intact.
I was at Towcester for the races yesterday, the first time in a long while. I didn't notice any tic-tac men - was tic-tac killed by the mobile phone?
The tic-tac men are sidekicks of the racecourse bookies - they use (or used to use) a hand-signing language (known as tic-tac) to communicate the odds on horses. I'm pretty sure you have them, or had them, in the US as I have seen them on numerous filmes noires, but possibly they went by a different name.What is a Tic-tac man?
