−'''Expo 1964''' was an unofficial [[World Expo]] held in the [[New York City]] borough of [[Queens]]. Unlike other World Expos, it ran for two years.

−Really, who was there? Did they enjoy the wonderful [[world]] of [[chemistry]]? I sure hope so! Do they know that there are [[plastic]]s 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]] [[tool]]s they lend, in their [[music]] [[amplifier]] and [[Electricity|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.
