There are still a few stores where you can get 7-up in glass bottles, with cane sugar. I should buy some and see if it is as good as I recall.<br /><br />K. Martinez, I know the name "Wink", but am not sure if I ever had it. Wonder it it is still being made by some small bottler, sort of like "Moxie".<br /><br />Snow White Archive, I don't really like coconut, and yet I am intrigued by coconut bread. As long as it doesn't have those tough shreds in it, it might be good!<br /><br />Nancy, that is an especially colorful and elaborate lamp… they ranged from simple squares to large multi-angled constructions. And I kind of agree about the New York pavilion… if they are not going to save it, maybe they really should just tear it down. <br /><br />Melissa, that kid is so skinny that his shirt wouldn't make much of a table cloth!<br /><br />Nanook, Melissa is always making with the funny! I love it.<br /><br />Anonymous, I have only passed the fairground while heading to Manhattan from JFK (and back). From that distance, everything looks pretty good! I envy your memories of that incredible Fair.<br />Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-67663215557878631322012-08-23T20:09:58.608-07:002012-08-23T20:09:58.608-07:00I drive by the fairgrounds all the time and it is ...I drive by the fairgrounds all the time and it is a sad sight to see the rusted crumbling wreck of the New York State pavilion. I remember as a kid going up in the towers,and playing on the tile Texaco road map. The Unispere,Hall of Science and the Heliport all look good though.

Her comments are always spot-on when it comes to humorous, pity summations of each colorful scene. I look forward to each one.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-8199940558985465642012-08-23T16:56:56.205-07:002012-08-23T16:56:56.205-07:00If they stop in for a sandwich, Junior's shirt...If they stop in for a sandwich, Junior's shirt can double as a tablecloth.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-28354064070683493852012-08-23T16:32:49.289-07:002012-08-23T16:32:49.289-07:00Beautiful snaps today!!

Loving those straw purses (I personally have two) and esp the picture of the midway, complete with a nice close-up of my streetlamp <br /><br />It is such a shame that they left the NY Pavillion there then let it fall apart like that :( <br /><br />Its like a dead body, worse than not seeing it to my mind.. :(<br /><br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73332746753805324462012-08-23T13:16:18.492-07:002012-08-23T13:16:18.492-07:00A "Lomi-Lomi salmon on Aloha coconut bread&qu...A "Lomi-Lomi salmon on Aloha coconut bread" along with a 7-Up sounds mighty tasty to me.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-92036668119563827302012-08-23T08:57:13.201-07:002012-08-23T08:57:13.201-07:00I remember "brownie" cameras.
