The Long Island History Project

Episode 111: Suffolk County News, April 30, 1920


Listen Later

If it's Friday and we're still in self-isolation, then this is another edition of the Suffolk County News, give or take one hundred years. We're reading through the newspaper as it appeared in 1920 and pulling out the highlights, the miscellany, and the unjustly forgotten.

In today's paper we find a case of suspended animation, high sugar prices, and the birth of a new highway.
