The main reason he located the plant here in Springfield was because at the time we had a Jewish mayor.

Jewish girls are hot. Speaking of which, I'd like to suck on Dina Freedman's nose.

Er...

You obviously haven't been around in her person. She took our Judo class on campus awhile. She is not that pretty.

So erm when are we going to explore that place guys? Looks like fun.

It's still in operation... I'm beginning to think that SOLO isn't going to close it after all.

You should all be aware by now that they threaten to shut down the plant every three or four years. It's never happened before, and it likely won't happen for a good bit. They've actually got a pretty good gig going, so they're not going to just pull the plug on a business that's still profitable. They ship to the entire midwest.

Go to a fast food joint sometime, and see where their cups come from. They supply just about every major chain in the area, plus a lot of the little ones. They're still making money hand over fist.
