I've been to Venice. Venice is a friend of mine. Seattle is lovely, but it is NOT Venice. Someone thought Seattle and Venice had something in common! I’ve been to Venice. Venice is a friend of mine.

Do we all just pretend this didn't happen? How embarrassing. Well, NOW what? Do we all just pretend this didn’t happen? How embarrassing.

The crop obscures the contextualizing information; to wit: "LOOKING UP OLIVE STREET, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI" As seen here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2189/2373989419_7e566d3c7c.jpg This was an envisioning of St. Louis, Missouri… not Seattle.

I truly came across this on Bing, and I am happy I did. I will definately be coming back again here far more generally. Desire I could add towards the conversation and bring somewhat more on the table, but am just absorbing as considerably information as I can at the moment.

The proportions seem to be misjudged somewhat. The “space-needle” there must be approaching 300-400 stories. The proportions seem to be misjudged somewhat.

Fantastic! And the "Space Needle" is pretty much in the same location as today. If only Seattle actually had this much public transportation. Is there any way we could get this made as a poster for Vintage Seattle readers to purchase? I would buy one! It'd be fun to get a series of side by side shots down 4th Ave. from different years onto a poster, too. . . How is it that I thought I’d checked all the archives, yet missed this one? Fantastic!

But let's not hold our breaths: with the rising price of raw oil, a Zeppelin style airship might become the transport of the future. Anyway, at that time the heavier than air aeroplanes were considered impractical, and the depictions of private aircraft (the "flying car" of later decades) were even more impractical. This image is atleast partially right in that there are regular passenger and freight flights through the air, though the mode of transport isn't what was pictured (yet, I might add).

They appear to have considered the Pike Place Market something that should be torn down. They also seem to have anticipated even more regrading work than was actually done. But a shot taken today toward the east on Pike would include the soaring glass bridge-room of the convention center, which has at least a tiny bit of the spirit of the proto-Space Needle. Hmm.
