I wouldn't be surprised if people in nearly every home town in the US
thought their city was a top 10 city-to-be-nuked. Every city
manufactures something important that can trigger this rationalization.
On the other hand, I grew up in a shitty little backwards town of 1500
that I wished was a top nuke site. But I doubt the Ruskies could care
less about the "Magic capital of the world": Colon, Michigan, past
home of Harry Blackstone. :-)

Hmmm, I always wonder about that Bryan as I grew up in Columbus and
we always heard as kids that "Columbus was a top 5 target" for a

Urban legends; maybe that is just a human condition to create a
rumor? maybe Ohio was going to be wiped out first.
anyone else grow up in another "Top 10 Nuke Me" city? feel free to
go offlist.

Off topic...
It's funny you should mention that. I grew up in Canton, OH, and
the Timken plant was the reason Canton was in the top 10 of targets
the Russians would have wiped off the map if push came to shove.
Probably not nearly as trouble by the time I was born, but it was a
well-known fact.

I think with the Timken wheel bearings it was a material issue. 8
identical bearings on a GTX two per corner I replaced them all with
Timken didn't look at them other than Timken was stamped on them I
had two failures and I got to looking closer. The two that failed on
different corners were stamped Timken Mexico. Two were stamped
Timken Australia and the other 4 were stamped Timken Japan. They all
came out of boxes labeled Timken USA but its really getting so
nothing gets made in the USA any more.
