Silver is like garlic or wolfsbane to Commies!<br /><br />Nanook again, since that is a publicity shot, it might have been taken when the Fair wasn't officially open.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49267181601877698282014-03-15T11:21:45.841-07:002014-03-15T11:21:45.841-07:00It's also kinda interesting the lack of crowds...It's also kinda interesting the lack of crowds within the Perisphere.

These slides are heartbreakingly beautiful.<br /><br />I desperately want to believe that that glorious Plaster Washington got into epic fistfights with <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/bananaphone5000/GoGoGorilla5/1939NYWF-USSR.jpg" rel="nofollow">Joe the Worker from the USSR Pavilion</a> at night when all the guests went home. Sure, Joe had a good 19-foot advantage on the General, and stainless steel skin to boot, but you can't discount the home turf advantage.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-10926266179889734692014-03-15T09:18:21.268-07:002014-03-15T09:18:21.268-07:00Great look inside the Perisphere!

Not to mention the sculptures and fountain. Heck - they're all images of great swellness.<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
