Even photos are probably rare or nonexistent.<br /><br />Chiana, I think Columbus' crew is glad that he didn't shoot for California!<br /><br />Melissa, me too. That fair was definitely a showplace for spectacular architecture.<br /><br />K. Martinez, those helicopters must have come and gone with surprising regularity, I have quite a few photos that show one in the air.<br /><br />Nanook, FIRE! FIRE, FIRE!<br /><br />Doug, I am jealous of your experience at the Fair!<br /><br />Dennis, I know you like these Fair photos! I'm glad you are enjoying them.<br /><br />Nancy, you could probably buy one for around $1000 if you ever find one! Why spend money on food?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-59713104871513021772012-10-24T19:14:59.765-07:002012-10-24T19:14:59.765-07:00beautiful! esp the street lamps that I lust after...beautiful! esp the street lamps that I lust after...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-5899852643638389332012-10-24T14:16:27.776-07:002012-10-24T14:16:27.776-07:00Always a pleasure seeing your Worlds Fair pictures...Always a pleasure seeing your Worlds Fair pictures!

If they'd chosen Santa Maria of California instead, there could have been fresh strawberry stands to go with them Florida oranges. And there could've been smoothies instead of the all-porpoise seal show.
