I used to eat at Shoney's and Captain D's ( I have this friend who once lamented to me he was fired from Captain D's for not being "Captain D" material lol). I used to hit all the strip clubs too...there was one named Three Fat Guys.
Me and my buddy would drive over the bridge out to Isle Of Palms on our motorcycles. I was there for Hugo, and actually saw Warrant at the Flying Dutchman (by mistake of course).

The Flying Dutchman long gone - I actually flew home before Hugo because my Mom refused to leave her house
I ended up staying with her - every old oak in the yard uprooted - not one hit the house.

The bad thing about European cars are the astronomical repair bills.

If this is any indication, for BMW's plant in Greer, SC.

So at $75,000+ per job that South Carolina is buying from Volvo, they are footing the first 2+ years of their payroll. And then there is the tax credits, construction handouts etc. Gloat away South Carolinian's. Saab may be next if they are still around.
Edit: $14 - $15/hour seems to be the starting wages at US based auto plants.

There has to be the accounting out there somewhere - as you say, an independent analysis may be difficult to get, especially if it has not been published in an accessible source.
I could very well be barking at nothing, but I would like to see the #s if they can be had.

My first time TDY to Charleston I stayed in the original Citadel.
Is the C-17 base still operating?

The Embassy Suites! I can't believe they turned the old Citadel into a hotel.
Yes, the C-17s still flying.
I was Air Force before DOD - I haven't seen "TDY" for awhile.

The Taco Bell on Rivers Ave(the street with the Winn Dixie and K-Mart on the opposite side of the Hospital) got completely destroyed.
I was on the 4th floor of the hospital when the eye came through...the building actually swayed back and fourth...it was sort of scary.
