What a long strange trip it has been

About two months ago I purchase a couple of sinks from a company in Georgia. These sinks were held at their industrial building (or an industrial building managed on their behalf by a third party logistics provider). Upon my purchase they were sent to the trucking carriers warehouse, where they were assembled with other goods headed in my direction and sent to the West Coast.

When arriving, the long haul shipment was taken to the carriers receiving warehouse for short distance delivery. It was then taken to my store.

I just found out that these sinks were actually manufactured in one of the industrial buildings I track in El Monte (http://www.allstrong.com/), not 30 miles from where they would eventually end up.

You would be surprised what is made here.
