poltr1The folks at the Dayton Business Journal have confirmed the rumors that NCR (formerly National Cash Register) is leaving its home of 125 years and moving its global headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Duluth, Georgia.
This is devastating news to the area, and to the local economy.
The Cash, as it was once nicknamed, had many facilities and buildings in the Dayton area before I moved here in 1989, and at one time, employed over 20,000 people. Many of its buildings have since been vacated and torn down. There are a few buildings left from that heyday, although now they are occupied by the Dayton Daily News and the University of Dayton.
I don't even know that they make cash registers and computers anymore. Their main product now is ATMs.
This is further proof that Dayton is a dying city, which Forbes magazine reported last year.
I really don't expect my next job to be in this town.
