A sad day for South Bend, Indiana

Thursday, September 24, 2009 by Peter Marr
Notre Dame isn't what it used to be.  Jobs are disappearing in the Rust Belt  Now, the College Football Hall of Fame is moving out of town.  Earlier today The National Football Foundation announced that they were moving to Atlanta, Georgia when their lease runs out on December 31, 2010. 



Maybe if the Irish has won some more games or if South Bend was a bigger city, it would be survived.  This loss, however, is coming to a city that has bounced back from losses like the shut down of Studebaker, the closing of Red Ball Jets facilities and the downsizing of Bendix.  Don't count South Bend out.  They always seem to come back. 

South Bend doesn't have to live off of the University of Notre Dame bookstore sales to survive.  Hopefully, they will find a way to get one of the Obama high speed trains from South Bend into Chicago.  The old South Shore Railroad that has hauled Irish fans back an forth for almost 100 years is old and slow.  If anyone looks at the multi-modal airport in South Bend they would find a combination that more cities should follow.  There are airplanes, trains, buses and cars all converging on this one location.  Washington D.C. -- let this city be a model for the future.

For all of you loyal fans from Indiana, there is a place where you can find the merchandise and gifts you are looking for.  LogoProducts4Less.com has all of the following for you Hoosiers.
