Product placement department: Tables had bottles of Coca-Cola and cans of Red Bull and White Claw. Swire Coca-Cola bottling facility is in Glendale near Westgate; the makers of Red Bull and White Claw are building facilities in the fast-expanding west Glendale “New Frontier.”
No coincidence, here, as those three beverages were the co-stars of the 2020 Glendale Chamber of Commerce “State of the City,” held at the Renaissance Hotel in Westgate.
The 50 tables at the event had copies of the front page of the Arizona Republican, Nov. 11, 1921, with a main headline, “Glendale Celebrates 29th Anniversary.” Stories included “Garden City has Made Steady Progress Since Its Founding in 1892” and “Paved Streets to be Reality Soon.”
