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.

Looks pretty underwhelming but at least we'll have a pavilion.

The choice of cover art really works. Good selection!

I have some US proof sets that I've bought over the years starting with my birth year of 1952. Also a few Canadian proof-like sets. My specialty is classic commemorative silver. As you probably know, a few matte proof specimens were struck by Mint Director John Sinnock for his personal collection and now fetch tens of thousands of dollars if and when they come up for auction. You are right about cameo proof coins from the 1936-1968 period. I think the intent was to produce uniformly mirrored proof coins and cameos were the rare exception. Do you remember F.J. Vollmer, a dealer back in the 60s who specialized in cameo or "frosted" proof coins? BTW, beautiful proof Barber dime you had.

Hey fellow numismatist. What I wouldn't give for a 1936 deep mirror cameo proof set!!!!!!

Hmmmm, doesn't look much like Tallulah to me.

Expo '70 held the record one-day attendance figure until Expo 2010. September 5, 1970, 835,832 visitors were recorded, with several thousand turned away. The following day, the attendance reached 777,098 with officials closing the gates at 3 p.m., turning away thousands.

I second waynebretl; thanks for the like to California Gold. Loved Huell Howser and this program.

Thanks for the information. When I used Kodachrome, it was available in ASA/ISO 25 and 64. I didn't realize the original film stock was that slow.

This wonderful shot, Kodachrome I assume, was posted on one of my aviation-related Facebook pages. Amazing they were able to get a crisp and clear image from one moving aircraft to another.

Maybe they were there as a reference point for fairgoers to locate an entry/exit point to the grounds.

Great information!!

I'm always up for a 99¢ Chinese dinner.
