  5. A happy surprise tonight!

    Bill Cotter posted a topic in Community Chat

    I had a nice World's Fair related surprise tonight. We were out for dinner and I saw a guy walk into the restaurant that looked a lot like Trey Callaway. Nah, couldn't be Trey, he lives on the other side of the valley. Well, it was him! Happily he saw me as well and came over to the table to say hi. We're going to try to catch up more in a week or so. Happy coincidence we were there and spotted each other!
  6. Sounds like a great exhibit
  7. I can't imagine it was well attended at all. Maybe that's why we never hear about it!

  8. "Be an Astronaut"

    Bill Cotter posted a topic in Transportation Area

    "Be an Astronaut" - that was the sign at this Mercury Capsule mock-up at the United States Pace Park. I'm sure quite a few kids (and adults) "flew" a mission or two in this. Photographed September 13, 1964. Newly restored 35mm slide.

    Bill Cotter replied to Bill Cotter's topic in Industrial Area

    Yes, Sneezy was somewhere else. Perhaps over at Coke? No one would have seen him there!

  15. Here's "Forms in Space" in the former Transportation Area.

  16. Building Shea Stadium

    Bill Cotter replied to Bill Cotter's topic in Building the 1964-65 New York World's Fair

    We were there a lot, and I for one really appreciated it over Yankee Stadium. WAY better sightlines and easier to get to from Long Island!

  18. Newly restored 35mm slide.
  19. Where else would you go for an A&W Root Beer but (drum roll, please) the Hollywood Citrus House?? Yeah, I hear you. The Hollywood WHAT? I never noticed that eatery tucked into the Hollywood USA pavilion before. And there's the sign plugging A&W.
  20. Let's see if anyone knows! I'll post the answer if no one knows it.
  21. For those who like concept art, here's a nice painting of the Scott Paper pavilion from a newly restored Fair Corp slide from 1963. Anyone know anything about the artist?
  22. No and no. Here's a clue but it's not what you might think. CITRUS
