That's wonderful!!! Can't wait to see additional footage.

The original reuse of this building was going to be a terminal facility for JetBlue. They even held a groundbreaking ceremony and open house. For whatever reason it never materialized but I'm glad to see it being put to use as a hotel.

The first photo is the Civil Engineering Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. It actually survived for several years after the Fair closed but was eventually demolished to make way for a new structure. Here is a more complete photo showing the entire building.

Judging by the Expo Express elevated track and lagoon in the background, it appears to be next to the West Germany Pavilion.

90¢ admission when a ticket to the Fair was $2.00!!!

Was painstakingly slow for me this morning, better now.

The trash pile in the background certainly adds to the ambiance.

We're a pretty scary bunch.

Welcome, Lawrence. If you scan the various threads, there is a ton of information regarding the 1964-65 Fair as well as many other past, future and proposed world's fairs. Have fun!

Vancouver or Tsukuba?

Performance issues? Sounds like a topic for another chat site. ;-) Working fine here

I was promised these . . . And ended up with this . . .

Did the Probability Machine appear in the final cut? I don't recall seeing it.

What is the barren lot to the lower right of the Meadow Lake Bridge? Site of the proposed American Indian Pavilion?

It's a shame the "birdcage" wasn't kept.
