Hi Chris, Great channel. Just wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on the Westrock Papermill? Originally it was the Union Bag and Kraft mill. (Originally built around 1930). I think that sometime in the late 30s the mill was sold to St Regis Paper. St Regis was bought by Champion International in 1985 and the mill was sold to Simpson Timber of Shelton WA. In 2016 the mill was sold again to Westrock. Westrock has recently decided to close the mill. Apparently the mill is for sale? This is just a thought. Thanks, John Leaf
There were, at one point, community centers for immigrants from Germany, Sweden, Japan, Italy and Switzerland. Members would gather to speak their native tongues and keep their culture alive for future generations through dance classes and festivals as well as support each other in their new life in their adopted home thousands of miles from their motherlands. Only two of these lodges remain today. There is the Slavonian American Benevolent Society in Old Town that formed in 1901 and continues to promote the culture and heritage of the former Yugoslavian region of Europe. And there is Normanna Hall, home of Norden Lodge #2 of the Sons of Norway,
