Visit to Chicago on March 28, 2013. I took this photo in front of a bridal display in Macy's store window (see photo below). What remains unknown is whether this was a serious proposal or simply an acting out inspired by the bridal display. A rather humorous coincidence in that this occurred while Marsha and I were looking at the store windows.

Two cover proposals by Jim Avati submitted to Len Leone, art director at Bantam Books, for "Nana" by Emile Zola. It became Bantam #S2811, 1st printing, August, 1964. Linda Greismer was the model.
These illustrations are proposals for a large re-branding project commissioned by Scholz and Friends Stockholm.
The project would include the creation of over 30 crests and this was a proposed test shield.
Unfortunately the pitch didn't swing my way but im uber jealous of the illustrator that got it as it would have been a wonderful project to work on!

Shown is the majority of Willow Glen, once it's own community, they opted to annex into San Jose in 1936 in order to connect to the city sewer system (something Willow Glen deemed too costly to install on their own)
As Willow Glen grew rapidly, so did septic system use, to the point it was starting to mix and overflow with nearby water (due to a high water table in the area)
Following the annexation, Willow Glen continued on, but as San Jose continued to grow, so did the need to add and widen the narrow roads in Willow Glen, most only being 2 lanes.
In the 1960s, from what I read from a source I can longer find, was that Almaden Expressway was suppose to run down the current alignment of Lincoln Avenue.
Bird Avenue was widened to 6 lanes near Interstate 280 (Bird Avenue #1)and would be widened as such all the way to Minnesota Avenue at the time,likely continuing past Minnesota (Bird Avenue #2) at a future time. Due opposition in Willow Glen (over loss of homes and character of the area) the roadway was only widened to Coe, leaving Bird as a 2 lane (1 each direction) road that barely handles today's traffic flows.
Cherry Avenue was also planned to become a 4 lane roadway, starting at Fruitdale Avenue and Race Street, going over the Los Gatos Creek via a bridge, continuing through Willow Glen and eventually connecting to Almaden Expressway (and what was one time planned to be the connection of Chynoweth Avenue through the farm there.) 2-3 homes would of been demolished, opposition was for the same reasons as Bird Avenue. Today Cherry is a discontinuous street, 2 lanes each way, though some parts were widened to accommodate 4, it remains at 2.
Pine Avenue, after Meridian, was also planned to be widened to 4 lanes, ending at Bird Avenue. It was also opposed and never went through, leaving it a narrow 2 lane road.
As for Willow Street, I believe it was to be widened as well, it does get wider in some areas (near Bird Avenue) and over by Highway 87, it appears there was the intention to have the original Willow Street alignment be 2 lanes one way and a new alignment 2 lanes the other way. It's speculation, but I assume the city might of intended to, but never did given opposition of all the other roads. Willow was also suppose to connect to Leigh Avenue, but never did due to opposition.
Which brings me to my next point, the former Ainsley Farm at Hamilton and Leigh, it was originally intended to be replaced by a few proposals: a new Pruneyard Shopping Center, a Pier 39 type center concept and of course the office complex and homes, the latter of which sit on the property today.
Lastly, the USPS planned to build a new main most office at Meridian and Hamilton, likely where the Goodwill and Three Flames Center is (as it would be large enough to accommodate such) or the Walgreen's center across the way (both in orange) Either way it never came to be due to opposition from Willow Glen, the main post office is now on Lundy.
Life is smiling at you at the end,
Why don´t you smile?
You idiot.
Do you want crawl the crap all the time?
Or you do you want to belive it is real?
Tears and laugh,
Unbelievable,
I will dress like a princess,
And you will be waiting for me there,
Wherever,
No mind,
To seal our love.
