e-flores Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 yep, the only major company left in Dayton was gm and they let go of the Dayton plant at the end of 09/begining of 2010. I workin the metal industry, I deliver and see alot of the machine shops etc. In the Dayton area and all of them are laying off people left and right because 90% of them deal with manufacturing parts for gm. Its no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah GM is shitty company so it's no wonder. It was only a matter of time. The base still employs thousands of civilians and contractors but not enough to keep the city afloat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing about it being around though is that it will never leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsn3485 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Heard about this on the radio yesterday morning coming into work. I guess it sucks for Dayton, but that means Dayton might not continue expanding North and I would like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC51 John Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Not that there is much there, but Wilmington, OH will become a ghost town soon. DHL is restructuring and approx 8,000 jobs will be lost.http://www.daytondailynews.com/b/content/oh/story/business/2008/08/06/ddn080608mccaindhlweb.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 "Another brutal statistic all the cities share is a diminishing population. So far this decade, 115,000 people have left Cleveland, for other climes. Smaller changes in other regions can be just as painful. Nearly 30,000 people have left Youngstown, Ohio, and they aren't being replaced by either new babies or new immigrants."NICE!! Babies and Immigrants. Wasnt that a LUDACRIS album?Anyone want to move to Columbus let me know. i have a Pole barn for rent.(strippers INCLUDED for an additional fee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I live in the Canton/Massillon area but technically I'm in Massillon. Lots of bars and no jobs, the sign of a dead town and nobody wants to let the Indians build a casino that might boost the local economy. There are no shortage of churches, however, another sign that the local population is depressed and insane. Man, Ohio does have some nice roads for riding but if I lose my job, I may have to move down south, filled with more churches and also more opportunities. To ride year round would make it all worth it. I could open up a lemonade stand on the roadside of Deal's Gap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
