NY World's Fair '64 / '65

[Dog427435]

[b]"Peace Through Understanding" was the theme of the 64/65 NY World's Fair.

As any NY undertaking is the fair was embroiling in controversy from it's unsanctioned beginning
to it's near bankruptcy end.
Like its predecessor, the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair lost money. It was unable to repay its
financial backers their investment and it became embroiled in legal disputes with its creditors until
1970, when the books were finally closed and the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation was dissolved. Most of the pavilions constructed for the Fair were demolished within six months following
the Fair's close. While only a handful of pavilions survived, some of them traveled great distances
and found reuse following the Fair.
But as a kid in '64 there was nothing better then hopping on the train to spend the day at the fair!!
