So, after a little bit of searching, I've decided that The Cannery is going to can beer (I can't take full credit for this, Clever had shown the Cannery as a brewery on someone else's layout)! The Pilsener Brewing Company was another one of those industries that came and went with the rise and fall of coal. The brewery was on the corner of Diamond and Seybert in downtown Hazleton just down the street from (you guessed it) the Duplan Silk Mill. Unfortunately, that was only true until 1958 when the massive brick edifice was pulled down for.... a parking lot.
But, what the heck. 1976 were some very hard times in Hazleton, and I feel they still deserve an alternative universe in which Pilsener was still operating - just not out of their original building. It's good for the building to have a purpose and I can try to tailor at least some signage, and I'll have to find some kegs or find something I can turn into kegs to place out on the loading dock.
I'm still hunting for a good enterprise to operate out of the larger Cream City complex.
