PSA: After the Fair

[scarlettina]

I'm backing this project on Kickstarter--a documentary about the legacy of the 1965 World's Fair--and I think you should, too. Why? Because a great deal of the world we know was first introduced there, and more people ought to know about it. Also? Because it's fun! (I'm a documentary junkie, in case you didn't know. Also, my brother and I are both World's Fair enthusiasts, as was our dad, so this project has a special place in my heart.)

Have you seen the book about Seattle's World Fair? It's really good.

D'oh! Different world's fairs. Um, sorry. But the book about the Seattle World's fair is still pretty good.

I have seen it. I promised myself a copy with my first paycheck when I start the new job.

'Sokay. My brother's the '65 World's Fair expert, but I was born in '62, so I have a special attachment to the Seattle fair. I was delighted with Seattle Met's coverage, and I really to want the book.

I have hazy memories of the World's Fair in Spokane in 1974.

Riverfront Park is still a lovely place to visit, should anyone have occasion to be in Spokane.

I've been there and you're right, it's lovely.
