A CAPITOL IDEA!
Think about industry in
northeastern Pennsylvania and
you're likely to think about coal.
That's logical. Coal was "King" in
the area for many years. But it wasn't
the only industry! For many years
our area was at the center of the
entertainment industry! Capitol
Records opened its doors on this
date in 1942. A few years later, in
1946. the company opened a major
record pressing plant in Scranton!
Artists like The Beach Boys, the
Beatles, Peggy Lee, and Nat King
Cole, just to name a few, had their
records pressed there! Scranton closed
the plant in the 1970's but for nearly
30 years Scranton was the center of
the music industry! And on that note
I wish you well and hope all your NEWS
is good!
