I believe that this was taken from a pedestrian bridge that led to the Amusement Zone; we're looking back towards the massive General Motors building that held "Futurama", while to our right is the sorta-ugly back side of "Bourbon Street" (though it didn't look that great from the front either), part of the State and Federal area.

I love the Fair's AMF Monorail, one of those "loaf of bread" monorails that Bob Gurr referred to once. I'd much rather ride one of these if my other choice was a bus.

AWESOME !!!
ReplyDeleteIn photo #1 - I want those light posts for my backyard, seriously, those are so cool!
ReplyDeletePhoto #3 (more cool light posts, different variations - neato!) Didn't the LA county fair (at Pomona) have a monorail kind of like that one or am I dreaming?
VDT, I remember seeing a story online about some guy who has a bunch of those light posts just rusting away in his back yard, he won't sell them either.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the LA County Fair had a monorail, I have a photo of it on my April 14, 2007 post (don't know how to do links in the comments!).
yep, after i get my Lowenbrau and a fresh pretzel, ill be taking a ride on the monorail!
ReplyDeletethese ones are so cool, remind me of the ones in "Fahrenheit 451", with the ladders that lower down to the ground...very sci-fi!!
VDT, i have long wanted one of these lamp posts myself...
great post today, Major! ;)
Hey someone got the monorail upside down! :-p
ReplyDeleteNeat as always!
