| Come to Tuscaloosa...PLEASE! I wish Google would come down to Tuscaloosa. We've got a major research university (UA had an enrollment of around 20,000 in 2003, and we've just topped 31,000), we have a major automaker (Mercedes-Benz U.S. International), and we have some of the tastiest barbecue you'll find anywhere, plus country fried steak, catfish cooked any way you want it, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, and all the sweet tea and beer you care to drink. Plus, student housing around UA has led to some pretty densely-populated neighborhoods, and all we have is un-upgraded Comcast, U-verse in a Swiss cheese deployment, and horrible Charter service on the edges of the metro area and into the county. In short, we NEED another alternative very, very badly.
And, if Google will come and deploy fiber here, I'll personally take at least five of their engineers out to Dreamland for some ribs that will make them forget about that junk they ate in KC. | |
| the student count doesn't matter. If you want to talk in terms of research then Google should have selected the Greater Cleveland area, 3 well known hospitals, 1 of them is the County's Leader in Children's Medical, the other is the world's leader in transplants- Cleveland Clinic- and is actually world known and has several hospitals/campuses around the Country and expanding world wide. and Mercedes-Benz is a moot point. Cleveland has Progressive, Sherwin-Williams, Medical Mutual of Ohio, the Cleveland Cavs, Cleveland Indians and much more as far as major employers and massive companies.
but that's something that shouldn't apply to where Google decides to deploy a network that it will later kill in a couple years after they're done data mining everyone to death. | |

they should have come to the other side of missouri, our BBQ is better over here anyway.
st. louis has two major universities and dozens of smaller ones. we have budweiser, edward jones, scott trade, purina, a major boeing presence, expressscripts, emerson electric, wells fargo, monsanto, enterprise rentals and a federal reserve bank. washington university has a massive hospital system which employs tens of thousands of people and is the size of 12 city blocks (and growing).
sorry NWohio but rainbow babies is not the nation's leader in pediatric care, CHOP and Children's of Boston are the winners there. if you want a run down see:
