That is the only plant left and it's huge.
As part of my day job, I went down there a few years ago.
It's on 1 Capitol Way, Jacksonville, which is about a hour or so from
Springfield, Illinois.
Very very nice folks. I don't deal with them on a day to day like I used to,
but that plant is a real part of that community. The EMI warehouse facility,
which is a separate bldg next door, will remain in place.
At night, if I recall, the only thing to do was bowling!
Everybody was there....
there was one used record store and they sold....uh.... used Capitol
stuff..... :)
Like everyone with old Capitol lps, i wondered about all those plants, too.
But this was the only one left.
