Atlas, whom the Long Island Press (citing a 1973 New York Times obituary) describes as \"a noted real estate developer and builder... credited with constructing the Miracle Mile in Manhasset.\"[5] Atlas began planning the development in 1947; by August 1950 the New York Times reported the project — which brought \"suburban branch stores for a number of Fifth Avenue shops\" to Manhasset — was in its final stages.[5] The \"Miracle Mile\" name itself was borrowed from Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile in Los Angeles, \"called the Miracle Mile because of the way it boomed with interwar commercial development\"; American towns rebuilding commercial strips after the Depression and World War II adopted the same label for their own developments.[5]"
