Greetings From Crown Center at 40: Hallmark's Island of Misfit Ideasnew

Hallmark Cards broke ground on this "city within a city" on September 16, 1968. Company founder Joyce C. Hall had spent the previous decade meeting with architects, industrial designers and real-estate men. Walt Disney, a friend, had even contributed a few ideas.

For the Makers of Shatto Milk, Success is Cold and Tastynew

The product has considerable appeal. It comes from cows that haven't been treated with artificial growth hormones. The animals live on a dairy 45 miles outside the city, a significant factor for those who try to mind their carbon footprints. And the bottles, in addition to being reusable, are cool as hell.
