And if Minnesota has a whopping 21 F500s with a population of 5.3 million and Georgia has a whopping 14 F500s with a population of 10 million. Georgia also has a prominent metro that is larger than the state of Minnesota so that is definitely a go figure.


My point is that F500s are nice for bragging rights but some states and cities that have less F500shave more available decent paying jobs and economic growth than some that have several.

Integrity Music Record Label or Teledyne Motors. Those are cool.

BankTrust and International Shipholding Corp are big operations.

This thread isn't about Georgia

Yea I was shocked when I found out that Integrity Music Label was based in Mobile also.I just found that out about 3 years ago.


And another little known fact I just found out was that the Checkers franchise which is kin to Rally`s was founded in Mobile but the HQ is in Florida...I wish the HQ was still in Mobile.
