RyanB06 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Why is Verizon for NY? And GE in CT? General Electric the corporation was created in Schenectady NY and their research department still has a major presence in the city.GE is headquartered in Connecticut.Fairfield, to be precise.I'm wondering why WWE isn't on the map for CT...they are based in Stamford.

cajunaggie08 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Maybe it's just my sports perspective that colors my viewpoint but I would have guessed United Airlines for Illinois.HQ should have stayed in Houston....We're still a little bitter over the Continental-United merger down here. The companies "merge" with Continental's management running the company, IAH is the largest hub, yet management decides they want to move to Chicago and take 1500 jobs at the height of the economic downturn with them.

pianoknight Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'd think Union Pacific would be the one for Nebraska.Agreed. UP is bigger (and far more instrumental in America's history) than either Cabela's or ConAgra. The latter two are retail megaliths, but UP was founded by a charter from President Lincoln himself and they partnered with the Central Pacific to build the transcontinental railroad, which really ushered in the era of westward expansion.Side note - UP later acquired CP, so the railroad today owns both "halves" of the transcontinental line originally built in the 1800s. 5th in NAT.

BBTV Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 For PA, the two most "recognizeable" (IMO) major corps are Heinz in Pittsburgh, and Comcast in Philadelphia. I guess Hershey is kinda sorta in the middle.Comcast isn't nearly as recognized nationally as the other two... such is the nature of cable companies having monopolies over entire metro areas.I'd say Heinz and Hershey are about equal as far as recognizability, although Hershey's more iconic logo gives it the nod.I thought Comcast had a large national presence. What about Sunoco? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

illwauk Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 I thought Comcast had a large national presence.Well... yes and no. While Comcast has a relatively large national footprint, the fact that cable companies have monopolies over the areas they serve means there's pretty large gaps in the country where Comcast has no presence at all.Here's a map that helps explain what I mean:What about Sunoco?Without looking it up, I can give you a vague description of their logo and not much else. I'm not even sure what business they're in (although I have a stong inkling to say it's a gas station).EDIT: Indeed it is a gas station... now I remember seeing them when I lived in Michigan. Still, they're certianly not as pervasive as Hershey's, Heinz, or Crayola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHiL Kizer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 For those of you wondering, the Connecticut beer on that map is the Willimantic Brewing Company. WBC is a restaurant, and the beer is not known outside of the dining room. For CT, I would have gone with Thomas Hooker, I think.I used to live in Romantic Willimantic when I attended Eastern Connecticut State. I've never had WBC beer, but fun times in Willi non the less Shout out to Apathy and The Bench Shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRocky4228 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I know Pillsbury is huge, but it's hard to not put Target for Minnesota.Target, Best Buy, or 3M would all be better than Pillsbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aci Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just a thought, but the New York Yankees for New York?I mean, come on... everyone knows the Yankees, even non baseball fans. I think their brand has actually transcended sports and would be thought of before other New York-based companies, which is saying a lot given how many companies are headquartered there.

mjrbaseball Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Pennsylvania's is perfect, America's oldest brewery-YuenglingExcept that mostly college kids drink it, and higher end places don't even carry it. PA has a ton of excellent craft breweries. Not up there with CA or New England, but I believe you can by Victory nationwide, so as someone in his mid 30s, I'd make that PAs beer now.Having lived in Pennsylvania my entire life, I can state from experience that Yuengling is extremely popular among all age groups. Many of my contemporaries (we are all well into our 50s) won't touch anything else. And I have yet to find a restaurant, club or bar anywhere in the state that didn't carry it.

And I have yet to find a restaurant, club or bar anywhere in the state that didn't carry it.That's a relatively recent thing though. When I was in college in Western PA in the mid / late '90s, there was only one distributor out there that had it, and it was in Johnstown. Most of western PA had never heard of it. When it got wider distribution, that's when it became the "good" beer for college kids out there.Obviously it's all about personal taste, but at least where I live most late 20s - 40s are ordering more "craft" beers (i hate that word), and it's really mostly the younger kids and blue-collar types that are drinking the Yuengling and Budweisers of the world. Of course things are different in different areas though.

MEANS Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yuengling was so popular in the area I lived (Lehigh Valley) that people just ordered a "Lager" and the bar tender knew you meant Yuengling. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
