Old Worlds Fair Globe

[Sparkie1263]

I was at my sons house in Queens last week and took a ride to get a few shots of the Worlds Fair Globe. It was from the 1964 Worlds Fair. the second image is of the parachute ride that was also at the fair but later moved to Coney Island.

Great shot of the globe, Frank! They did a good job repairing it after it was destroyed in Men In Black! (see Ty's comment)
