A CAPITOL IDEA!

   FRIDAY. JUNE 4, 2021

    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!
