I was at the Regional Archives today as part of Doors Open (in the old County Court House facing Weber). They have some amazing items in there, may of which they put on display for the visiting public.

This one stood out to me the most - a plan for suburban growth of Berlin and Waterloo from over a century ago. (West is at the top, here.) Some very ambitious subdivision designs, and a set of ringing boulevards, none of which really matches anything that was built to my knowledge.
