World's Fair Wednesdays- Scenes From New York 1964

A quick view of several sites at the 1964 New York World's Fair. First up is the New York building with the iconic towers. Most people recognize these from the Men in Black movies.

Next up is the fantastic U.S. Rubber Royal Tire Ferris Wheel. I wish that this was now running as the wheel still exists outside of Detroit, albeit it is now a static attraction.

A juxtaposition of the U.S.Royal Tire and the Sinclair Dinoland.

Final image is an overhead view of the Unisphere.

    Cool down, Matterhorn! (I'm going to be using that phrase from now on). These are great, I do love that fair...

    So, what was up in the Iconic Towers? A restaurant? Observation Platform? Russian Icons?
