Wanda
We caught this rather off-beat, yet cool film the other night. Wanda was filmed primarily in Scranton and Waterbury Connecticut in the fall of 1969. There is a stunning view of the Olyphant Colliery early on in the film, as well as numerous view of downtown Scranton.

Allen Theatre: ZZ Top
The passing of Frank Beard had me recalling their Allen Theatre appearances.
From Scene, December 5 - 11, 1974.This was the show when a leg of the power feed into the building blew out during the sound check, forcing stagehands to do a bunch of workarounds, and the show went on.
From Scene, June 27 - July 4, 1974.This show was the source of numerous Lovomotiv GT longplayers which were handed out prior to the show.
