Hello Seattle

Seeing this slide prompted an odd thought.

It's interesting just how much of the USA people recognise from Sit-Coms. It this case, an occasional viewing of Frasier let me confidently spot this rather fine image of the Space Needle.

A quick trip to Wiki reveals the astounding fact that it was built in just under 8 months. Impressive.

Bonus -

1951 Aug - Ivalee Jones (Seattle) - Flying U

(That's what's written on the slide)  Heavens? Is that really how Seattle looked in 1951?

Boy, it really was a rural back-water.
