There is a NIKE site in San Francisco that has been preserved for vistors.

We had a blast there (pun intended)... It was a fairly good tour and they gave you some good perspective of what it was like to work there at the time. I see they now offer a 'tour' that allows you to sleep there overnight as if you were one of the crew. I'm not sure I see the appeal in that but someone must.
