I can understand the dilemma, as I recently inherited the family photos, two giant boxes of them. I plan on sending them off to be digitized and put on CDs, but still need to pick through them to decide which ones. Family ones, yes, but what about the ones of people that I don't have any idea who they are? And then what? Keep the photos and negatives or trash them? The next generation has shown no interest in them. Being the family archivist is an awesome responsibility.

I wish banks would bring back Christmas and vacation club accounts.

The minute I saw the picture, I immediately thought of this character in the Pink Panther cartoons: -

I wonder what ever happened to her. -

Randy, Thanks for that info. Guess the tower canopies suffered the same fate as the TOT roof: falling panels? It seems fitting that, after so much use at the Fair, that they were used for the Hall of Science expansion. -

Were the canopies of the tower platforms made from the same fiberglass panels that made up the roof of the TOT? -

Interesting that American Motors planned on participating. I take it they had no presence at all? -
The fairgrounds must have been quite dark with the luminaires "de-energized" for the off-season. I wonder if they had a problem with trespassing/vandalism/theft.

It appears as though most of the buildings in the Belgian Village had more than one floor. Were the other floors finished out? If so, what were they used for?

Were the pavillion owners responsible for the demos on their pavillions or was the fair? I know the 64-65 fair ended up having to demo several pavillions on their dime and I was wondering if this was the case for the 39-40 fair.

Ah, the smell of freshly printed dittos...

I find it interesting that they tore out all the embankments and how shallow and sediment-filled the canals appear now. In the before pictures, the canals appear quite deep.

A Chun King souvenir stand? I wonder what they sold. -
It seems like most of the buildings were multi-story. Were all the floors open to the public, or were the upper floors used for storage/etc.?
