Nike made a commercial using part of my home town in it.

I had gotten a email from someone that said nike had my town in part of the commercial, and it was going to be shown on American Idol, I never watch American Idol. So I taped it, Yes, I seen it

Looked it up on you tube and there it was,

If you want to watch it my town starts at 144 to 153, it starts with the girl running through the high school band and across the street in town. It goes by pretty quick.

Windsors, I hope the shoe company paid SOMETHING to your local council. The multi-national companies pay BIG money to make these mini-movie advertisements.

niiice.

was that your main street at 1:50?

Yes it is, you would be looking East down main street.

Swerve's been down main street.

I don't know if they did or not.

I HAVE been down your Main Street many times ALWAY riding in STYLE in your CONVERTIBLE!!!

OF COURSE -- ALL the times I was there -- it seems like it was a MASSIVE CONSTRUCTION zone...

Must have been in preparation for THIS commercial...

I've ALSO been to Nike's Corporate Campus outside of Portland, OR...

A VERY COOL PLACE -- I was delivering a load of kind of like huge shrink wrap rolls except a little different -- they took the 35,000 lbs of plastic to make the ENDS of SHOE LACES!!!

I have NO IDEA how many MILLIONS of shoe lace ends were made from just my ONE truckload of plastic...

 

[swerve]

OH -- and it is GREAT to see you back online Windsors!!!

Sorry that EASTER got in the way of what would have been a FUN Saturday in St Louis!!!

OMG I didn't think there was any manufacturing still in the USA. The Chinese have KILLED the manufacturing industries in my country, Australia.

^I suspect that MOST of their shoes are NOT made here...

But -- they still maintain their corporate offices and at least a modicum of manufacturing...





p.s. I'm NOT an insider and am not POSITIVE about this INFO -- just a suspicion...
