I was running through the Nike campus today and thinking:
“Man, I wouldn’t mind working here if they made shoes in the USA”.
I mean if Keen and New Balance can make shoes here. Why can’t Nike?
They don’t even have to make all their shoes here, just throw us a bone. I guess I should just feel blessed just having the Headquarters here and all the riff-raff managers, executives, and what-not is enough.

[side note: Beaverton tried to annex the Nike campus a while back because, well it is in Beverton, and Nike faught pretty hard to remain in Washington County even though the city has now grown up on all sides. Hillsboro (another close city) also tried I guess and lost too. Nike’s threat as I understand the situation is that they will leave Oregon(?) if they get annexed and have to pay more in city taxes.]
