Made in America

Manufacturing literally is the news this week! ABC News begins a week-long segment tonight on Made in America.  They have been building up to this segment with stories and video about the state of manufacturing in the United States.  The part of the site dedicated to the segment also has a really great interactive Made in America Map showing where items are made with red stars denoting companies submitted by users and blue stars denoting companies identified by ABC.

This week's feature follows the Usry family, a Texas family that accepted a challenge to find out what three rooms in their house look like with only American-made products.  North Carolina will be represented by at least one manufacturer:  Lee Industries of Newton, NC manufactures custom upholstered and leather furniture and has supplied a sofa, loveseat and three chairs for the challenge.

Don't forget to watch the segment and let us know what you think.
