Eddie On Everything » lists http://www.eddieoneverything.com Tips & tricks on things that interest me Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:29:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 What are the 10 strongest retail markets in the U.S.? http://www.eddieoneverything.com/lists/what-are-the-10-strongest-retail-markets-in-the-u-s.php http://www.eddieoneverything.com/lists/what-are-the-10-strongest-retail-markets-in-the-u-s.php#comments Sun, 03 Apr 2011 22:11:13 +0000 eddie http://www.eddieoneverything.com/lists/what-are-the-10-strongest-retail-markets-in-the-u-s.php As an entrepreneur, one of the most important decisions you will make is where to locate your business. 

For many involved in online sales, location is unimportant.  But if you’re in the restaurant or retail sector, location is everything.

I came across this list of the Ten Strongest Retail Markets in the US.  The list was compiled by ChainLinks Retail advisors as part of what they call “The US National Retail Report.”

The top 10 retail markets in the US:

1. Washington, D.C.
2. San Francisco
3. New York City
4. Boston
5. San Diego
6. San Jose/South Bay
7. Baltimore
8. Philadelphia
9. Seattle
10. Pittsburgh

As you can see, Washington, D.C. tops the list, followed by San Francisco and NYC.

I am a little surprised to see Pittsburgh ranked so high – it’s relatively small (about 300,000) and has a reputation as a blue-collar “working class” town.  Notably missing from the list is Minneapolis/St. Paul – people in Minnesota seem to love shopping (See the Mall of America), and I would have expected to see them in the top ten.  Oh well, better luck next time, Minnesota!

Since 2000, the fastest-growing states in the US have been Utah, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and Colorado.

Other Notes:

  • The only two states to lose population were Michigan and Rhode Island. Michigan’s population declined 0.5 percent (46,000), while Rhode Island’s fell 0.2 percent (2,000).
  • California remained the most populous state, with about 36.8 million people on July 1, 2008. Rounding out the top five states were Texas (24.3 million), New York (19.5 million), Florida (18.3 million) and Illinois (12.9 million).
  • On the whole, the Northeastern states have gained population at an increasing rate since 2005, a turnaround from their declining growth rates from 2000 to 2005.
  • Six of the 10 fastest-growing states from 2007 to 2008 were Rocky Mountain states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Three others lined the South Atlantic coast: Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
  • The West was the fastest-growing region (1.4 percent) between 2007 and 2008, but the South added the highest number of people over the period (1.4 million).

In honor of America’s upcoming birthday, I thought I’d compile this list of “contemporary” patriotic songs about the USA. The reason I put “contemporary” in quotes is that some of these songs are at least 20 years old, which I’ll be the first to admit, isn’t exactly cutting edge. (For example, Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA)

What I mean by “list of contemporary patriotic songs” is that I’m excluding 50 and 100 year-old classics such as “America the Beatiful” and “Yankee Doodle.” If you want a list of those songs, please consult your local kindergarten teacher. :-)

These songs about the USA are in no particular order.

Living in the Promiseland
by Willie Nelson
Memorable Line: Living in the Promiseland, Our dreams are made of steel. The prayer of every one, To know how freedom feels. There is a winding road, Across shifting sand And room for everyone, Living in the Promiseland.

God Bless the USA (Proud to be an American)
by Lee Greenwood
Memorable Line: “And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.”

Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)
by Toby Keith
Memorable Line: American Girls and American Guys, We’ll always stand up and salute, We’ll always recognize, When we see Old Glory Flying, There’s a lot of men dead, So we can sleep in peace at night, When we lay down our head.

America
by Neil Diamond
Memorable Line: Everywhere around the world, They’re coming to America. Ev’ry time that flag’s unfurled, They’re coming to America. Got a dream to take them there, They’re coming to America. Got a dream they’ve come to share, They’re coming to America.

Born Country
by Alabama
Memorable Line: I was born country and that’s what I’ll always be. Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free. I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood. I was born country and this country’s what I love

America Will Survive
by Hank Williams Jr.
Memorable Line: Cause you can’t scare us out, and you can’t make us run, we’re them boys and girls with freedom and fun. We say grace and we say ma’am, If they don’t like that, we give less than a damn. We’re from North California and South Alabam’ And all they’ve done is unite this whole land. There’s no more Yankees and Rebels this time. But one united people that stand behind. America can survive.

This Ain’t No Rag, It’s a Flag
by Charlie Daniels
Memorable Line: Our people stand proud. The American crowd is faithful, loyal and tough. We’re good as the best and better than the rest. And you’re gonna find out soon enough, When you look up in the sky, And you see the eagle fly. You better know he’s a heading your way. Cause this ain’t no rag it’s a flag And it stands for the USA.

Riding With Private Malone
by David Ball
Memorable Line: It was a young man named Private Malone. Who fought for his country and never made it home. But for every dream that’s shattered,another one comes true. This car was once a dream of his,back when it was new. I know I wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t tagged along. That night I was riding with Private Malone. Oh,thank God,I was riding with Private Malone

Looking to move on up?

If so, you’ve better have a lot of case on hand. According to Forbes magazine, the median price tag of a home in the most expensive zip code in the US (94027, (Atherton, CA) tops $2 million dollars. You read that right, that’s the median home price.

If you don’t have $2 million laying around but still want to live in a top 20 zip, you could always slum it down in Los Altos for a paltry $1.4 million. Chump change to those in Atherton, I’m sure.
