Beechwood Shopping Center when it was brand new

In light of the recent renovations at the Beechwood Shopping Center, I found it very interesting to see the shopping center as it appeared in 1964, just a few years after the grand opening.

I thought that you also might like to see it, so tap the play button and enjoy:

Many of the frames show people craning their necks to look at an airplane flying over the shopping center and children running around.

Does anyone know what that was about?

I thought it might be a promotional gimmick with the airplane’s pilot dropping goodies into the crowd.
