| Pembroke Meadows development begins to
take shape in this 1967 aerial photo looking to the Southwest. Old
Donation Farm still fills most of the area and the streets in Pembroke
Meadows are barely scratched out and unpaved. You can see that Aragona
Village and Pembroke Mall are fully developed. Pembroke Shores is
yet to be.

| In front of the Pembroke Meadows model
homes, across Whitechapel Drive, was a man-made lake with a replica of
a mill with water wheel. This view is looking Southwest toward Independence
Boulevard and the culverts over Lake Pembroke. Part of the medical
