Well, I was surfing and thought the page promoting the morning show was interesting. Talked about the folks that visit, including Opelika Mayor Barbara Patton. I would have thought that the big Gary Fuller supporters at WANI would have updated that by now. Gotcha!! Check the page and see if it’s been updated! Please, Leave a Comment!!

Opelika Lands Yet Another New Industry
Foxrun Business Park will be the home of Gambro Renal Products , a Sweden or German (depending on where you look on the web) based firm that specializes in renal (kidney) and cell-based therapies. They will be housed in a 100,000 square foot facility and employ about 150 folks. Apparently the company will train some of the new workers in Germany for about a year and a half.

Road Trip â Laurel, Mississippi
On the road for a few days to Laurel to work with one of my favorite customers on some software issues. When asking the best way to get to Laurel from Opelika, the answer is “there is no good way.” So with that in mind I took the great Southern route down I65 to 84West. The other route (Northern) takes you up to Selma and over to Meridian then south to Laurel. I think I… Read More
East Alabama Living â Spring 2005
With news of the troubles at Craftmaster in the paper this morning, I got one of the slickest items those folks are printing these days in the mail this week. East Alabama Living’s Spring Issue with some pretty interesting reading, well, except the Featured Wedding story, and you know how I feel about weddings. The story on General Hal Moore is great reading. The faces of East Alabama section apparently is going to be a… Read More
Harley Davidson Rides into Opelika
I don’t ever use the road that pretty much runs next to I-85 on the Opelika Side of the highway (Between Exit 62 and Hurtsboro Exit), unless I’m going to review my ABC’s (some of you may get that), but there it is. Big Swamp Harley Davidson of Opelika being built right across the street from Mike Patton’s newest car lot. Looks to be a good size store based on the parking lot being created… Read More
