|
Oh boy! We found the roots of one of our parks!

DuPont
Really, who was at the DuPont Pavilion? Did they enjoy the wonderful world of chemistry? I sure hope so! Do they know that there are plastics in their toaster, in the blender and the clock, in the lamp and in the roaster, on the door and in the lock, in the washer and the dryer and the garden tools they lend, in their music amplifier and electric fryer?

Shea Stadium
At the time, Shea Stadium was an ultra-modern sporting venue. The longtime home of the rhyming New York Mets and New York Jets, it seated 55,000 for baseball and 60,000 for American football. Unfortunately, in 2008, it was replaced by Citi Field. By that time, the Jets have been playing in New Jersey for a while.
Subway
Ah yes, the New York City Subway. Many of the late R36 cars were purchased specifically for service to Expo.
Unisphere
The Unisphere is a 12-storey-high model of Earth that served as the main symbol of Expo. You can still see it in 2024.
It's beautiful...
