my parent had a 'summer cottage' - waterfront & all that.
all the Popular Science and Popular Mechanic magazines were re-homed to a storage bin below a built in couch thingie....
when they sold the place, I took all the magazines home, they're in my basement.
it is exceedingly curious to see all the stuff from the mid-1950's that was going to happen 'real soon now' - that still have not come to pass.... 60+ years later . . .
flying cars, self-driving cars, 300 mph trains, robots to do everything from shine your shoes to clean the toilet.....
my all time favorite: "nuclear power - it will be so cheap to produce you won't even have a usage meter, they'll just sent you a bill for $4-$5 dollars a month . . . "
