NC Circa 1955

Curse you Dan! I spent too much time on that magazine. They have the equivalent of three years worth of articles in that one issue, compared to today's ratio of 6 pages of article and 145 pages of advertisements. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I've wasted most of the afternoon browsing. I scrolled down and the article about Sharpstown brought a laugh or two. I grew up about 5 miles from the shopping center. It didn't come out quite like the rendering. And I don't recall any helicopter pads or heli-commuting. And the streets weren't quite as curved as the plans show. There were a few T ends, jog over a block type arrangements, but with a little practice you could get from Bellaire Blvd. to Old Richmond Road (before it was called Bissonnet) faster than going down Hillcroft.

Heh. Visions of the future rarely survive contact with reality.

But it's pretty cool having all those back issues on line.
