During a remodeling project at Glendale’s City Hall, workers discovered a time capsule from 1985.
The contents of the 1985 time capsule were shown off at Bicentennial South School.
Patrick Banger is the city manager.
“We had some things such as phone books, for those of us old enough to remember phone books, a VHS tape, some articles tied to Marty Robbins, our famous singer from Glendale, Arizona,” he said.
The items included letters from schoolchildren talking about the city at the time.
“Most things again, were still paper in nature like phone books and items of that type. There was a menu from a restaurant at that time which is still here in downtown Glendale today: Bitz-ee Mama’s,” he said.
Banger says the capsule is being reburied alongside a new time capsule, and both will be reopened in 2060.
Among the items included in the new capsule are a letter from Mayor Jerry Weiers, a football autographed by Arizona Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love, and a Taylor Swift bracelet referencing the artist’s world tour kickoff in the city.
