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 intere sting 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:
