AMERICA'S HOMETOWN TO BE HOLLYWOOD EAST???
by Ken Ellis
PLYMOUTH - For weeks and months now, there has been quite a buzz over the possiblity
of a major motion picture studio being built in Plymouth. Before you update your resume,
keep in mind that this is similar to talk of building a large scale Disney-style amusuement
park in Plymouth back in the 90s. As much as we would love to have a long story about
this, we defer to the experts on this one. NO ONE has been on top of this story more than
the Patriot Ledger. For their coverage, click on the banner below.
