Executive Predicts Downtown Renaissance

June 2, 1959, Downtowns

June 2, 1959: "The trek back from the suburbs has begun. Families will be returning to the cities in increasing numbers during the coming years, 'lured by the city's glamour, downtown business developments, new housing.' The turn for the downtown department store has come. The future never has been as bright as it is now."

How did Sidney L. Solomon get it so incredibly wrong? Or was he ahead of his time?
