Ok let’s settle in for another few stories from that May 1964 copy of the
Seattle Times. Although this first article isn’t strictly Seattle related, it’s interesting nonetheless. The article reports on the six-hour JFK Assassination re-enactment the Secret Service undertook in Dealey Plaza. Interesting that they even wore Governer Connally’s suit that he had worn the day of the assassination. And speaking of this subject, I recently Netflix’d a documentary called
The Men Who Killed Kennedy that I have to recommend.
Next up is a simple ad for Northgate Mall boasting that it is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until 9:30. Nine thirty! Just a simple reminder of how times change — especially with our modern conveniences. Northgate, by the way, opened in 1950 and was one of the nation’s very first malls. So I suppose that you could say that mallrats are all our fault! Click on the image for a closer look:
