Historical review notes the 1930 plan proposed a city park at 12th and Haskell and a central game field for schools. It forecast a parkway loop and a New England town character, but lacked political backing, while some recommendations later appeared in law and policy.

Submarine Incidents and Cold War Sailor Testimonies
Russian subs collided and crewmembers aware of the Pintado incident said the action was close enough to Petropavlovsk to study harbor activity through periscopes. An aide to Sen. Stennis indicated knowledge of the incident. The Pintado, commissioned in 1971, is a Sturgeon class sub with torpedoes and nuclear-armed rockets. Submariners say U.S. subs operate in Soviet waters as Russian subs patrol near the U.S. coast.
