Nostalgia

 

Back

Photos collected on the web of the 1964 Worlds Fair

 Flushing, NY

My recollection of the Worlds Fair is not much, just the US Royal Tire Ferris Wheel actually. It is always nice to look back at a time of innocence, when things were simpler :)

Other Classics

Remember the hot dogs at Howard Johnsons? The clam-which? The ice cream sodas? And Wetsons, oh wetsons, home of the 1/4 lb White Castles and crispy golden fries. I remember there was a Wetsons in Westbury on old Country road, and there was another located on Queens Blvd near Queens center mall.

Expo 67 Montreal, Canada

I have memories of La Ronde, the Gyrotron imparticular. That was a chain driven, train type ride inside the pyramid complex you see in the photos, and I remember a devil popping out at you at some point in the ride. That scared the crap out of a 7 year old LOL.
