Be nice to see some of those bits restored a bit further. Really nice, though. I like that he's got thed more 30s/40s bits in there too, as that gives it a true reflection of the times (amazing how many people - examples in thed comments below the article - don't understand that not everything in the 50s was brand new and "1950s!"). I much prefer this to the "here's a couple who live in the fifties!" type storeis with people who've turned their house into the diner set from Happy Days.

The milk bar actually reminds me of the Love Shake in Hoxton, London http://www.theloveshake.co.uk/
