The Way We Were: NE 15th & Broadway in 1958
This 1958 image shows NE Broadway looking west from 15th Avenue. This was two years before Lloyd Center opened nearby; it probably would have been a primary shopping area at the time. It's also before the Broadway-Weidler couplet was introduced (on July 10, 1960). I like it that they posted a sign advising motorists that traffic signals were set for 30 mph. Amazingly, as far as I can tell, all the buildings in this photo are still there.
