1927 Radio Era Brings Tech and Town News to Elyria
In 1927 radio dominates local life with Atwater Kent sets priced 60 to 140 dollars and broadcasts from WTAM. Gov Donahey’s third-term inaugural is heard in classrooms. Elyria sees Falcon Motors’ plant takeover promising 400 jobs, rising population, and new zoning plans. Bootlegging and protracted sports headlines mingle with social pages and curfews as the town embraces modern sound and local activity.
