This is the New York State pavilion and observation towers from the 1964-1965 Worlds fair at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, N.Y. The structures are in ruins but have long outlasted their intended purpose. I remember going up the elevator to the observation deck back in 1965. It can be seen in the fun 1987 video "Don't Let's Start" By the band "They Might Be Giants". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJQnZZ-Wmao

When we have fairs here, we take everything down, till the next year. Hows come you guys leave everything up? Is that fair still going on, or what? Maybe you New Yorkers are just too sentimental to get rid of stuff like that. But...I think that's OK. I still have the same tree stump in the back yard that's been there for years. Heck, I use it for a picnic table seat. Nice picture, Jim.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

When you're through with life and all hope is lost. Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
