@Georgiagrama: Sorry, you are incorrect, the "big" Amazon competition is for their Headquarters #2. There are a number of distribution centers (we have one in Phoenix).

I can only go by how they referred to it on our local news last night. They called it a delivery center. I know that Amazon hasn't officially announced the location of the huge distribution center, or that I know of anyhow. I know that Georgia has been in fierce competition for it. It would be an amazing boost to the economy of any city they might choose. This is a 10,000 square foot delivery center and they are hiring people to load trucks only. No packing or anything like that. Apparently, they have many delivery centers through out the country.

@Georgiagrama: You and I are talking about two different Amazon ventures. The one I am referring to is the new Headquarters that many cities are vying for and the finalists include D.C. Area, Pittsburgh, NYC and Boston. The winner needs to be a transportation hub, with lots of educational institutions etc. I'm hoping it's DC because it would have such impact that it would diversify a "Company Town" forever.

Oh yes!! The headquaters would be an amazing economy boost for any area. I think they were also hoping it would be in Atlanta. I understand what you are referring to now.
