Much has changed in the six months since we turned to this nightly newsletter’s readers for their six-word stories of the biggest story of our lives.
We’ve had more cases, more lockdowns. We’ve had far too many deaths. Vaccines have arrived and been delayed. And now we worry about variants.
In my mind, all of these developments and more are perfect for another edition of your pandemic prose.
So the literary challenge is the same as the one we issued in September: Compress your COVID-19 story into exactly six words. Then send us that short story and we will share your six in this newsletter.
The old Pittston Apparel Company building is likely to host a satellite campus, among other things. Author: Chelsea Strub Updated: 4:32 PM EST January 11, 2021
PITTSTON, Pa. The Pittston Apparel Company logo on a building on Kennedy Boulevard represents a piece of its history and how the city was home to more than 80 dress factories. This building, which is 110,000 square feet, largest building footprint in the city was one of those operations, said Mayor Michael Lombardo. As a matter of fact, my paternal grandmother and two of her sisters work here in the building.
While the pandemic has forced many projects to hit the pause button, that s not the case in Pittston, where work is underway to revamp the building. It is potentially home to a new satellite campus of Alvernia University in Reading.
