I traveled to the Thyssen Krupp mill in Alabama several times during construction about 3-4 yrs ago. Was a multi billion dollar mill and one of the largest construction projects ongoing during the recession. A lot of german money spent there.

I had a hard time figuring out how such a large mill was placed in a town with no hotels, two restaurants, no grocery stores and one gas station...which was where everyone shopped for groceries.
