New Era caps, the baseball hats that the MLB and NFL players wear (including the ones that will be in the locker room of the Super Bowl champions this Sunday) are made in WNY.

Their world headquarters are actually about a mile away from me....just down the street!

That are made? Hmmm! Were made! A lot of telecommunication equipment, and the Enola Gay was made in our city.

And campers - our camper was built in Indiana and we went to the factory to watch them do it. It was in Elkhardt.

Here in Florida , beside growing produce including citrus they mine phosphorous for fertilizer. There are seaports ports in Jacksonville and Tampa. However, i think there are only 2 really large industries here - tourism and retirees. The only business in our small Florida town is retirees.But lots of money is made here from the snowbirds. My housekeeper says that she makes enough during the snowbird season to support herself without working at all for the entire summer. So she only does about 4 clients a week in the summer and takes some time for herself.

As we were on the way to Elkhardt to see the camper being built we saw a lot of windmill farms in western Ohio and eastern Indiana.

And the company my DH retired from was based in Indiana. - they make wire.
