1980's UPC and I was a consultant to Dayton Target. Tough fair and forward looking. I remember discussing the GRAN SLAM when working to bring Munsingwear, Inc out of Bankruptcy. Many challenges in the 90's. Web was new and Target IT was a big deal here in Minneapolis.

I was 6 years old and remember my dad covering my eyes as we road the elevator to the top of the Space Needle during the Worlds Fair. Found out later in life my dad had a fear of heights and I guess he thought I did too? So glad I was raised here and experienced life in Seattle.

It's pronounced, "Quinzee".

may I share this video on my blog post I'm writing about the bridge?

Unhappiness. Hows that belt on your right butt cheek liars literally

Some of this info is incorrect by the 1990's there were no Crowley stores , the downtown store has long been gone, Hudson's bldg. was torn down in 1986 or 1987, Crowley has been gone from downtown at least 10 or 15 years before that

Wow. ❤

Here it is. 2024 and you still won't tell the truth about roebuck😢

I love how you paired the “napping area” with Billy Graham’s church pavilion! 🤪

I love the good old simpler times.

My mother did macrame of all things.

When I was younger I knew a family who had chocolate brown appliances in the kitchen burnt orange shag carpeting in the living room (and a sectional couch to match the rug OMFG!!!!). And a pink bathroom with fake marble around the sink frosted glass doors on the tub 🛁 piss colored tile all over the floor some kind of weird ass heating lamps in the ceiling and the walls had a silver colored wallpaper that had black veins running through it from floor to ceiling. This was in 1983! And this friend tells me ( this is a DIRECT QUOTE here thanks). “My dad bought this house 🏠 because he got a deal on it “. He got a deal is right Oy.!!!!!

Some beautiful girls in this video!

Beautiful girls back then!

I've not shopped there since the bathroom thing.

Who remembers hi-c

Thank you for a great video, this 💯nailed it! I was a child in the 1960s and this is exactly how life was❤lots of hard work and respect for others. Sadly so much has changed. Thank you for letting me escape back to a sweet simple time 🤸☀️🛝

Some of these were in the 70s and 80 and 90s also

I was disappointed that I could not study the pieta for too long. You were on a moving horizontal path.

I worked as a radio DJ for 30 years. It was killed by corporate greed first. Next, overpaid consultants and their limited playlists, telling listeners what they should like. Then, evolving technology led to alternatives to radio as a music medium. such as satellite, MP3, internet/streaming, etc, which proved to be 100x better. The final nail in the coffin was the automation system, which killed it for me. When I started in the 70s, radio was live and local 24/7. Now, RoboDJ runs the show. It fools some people, because the hear a DJ talking, they assume it's live. The corrupt FCC has deregulated the whole business. Before, a company could own no more than ONE AM, one FM, and one TV station in any market area. Now, it can own ALL of them. Definitely not in the public interest. At one time, a licensed operator (me) was required to oversee the transmitter at all times the station is on the air. Now, a computer does it. Commercial broadcast radio is dead, at least as a music medium. RIP Wolfman Jack.

Great Presentation! Where did you find all of the photographs?

00:39 not obsolete

That fair was huge. Couldn't see everything even with several trips.

❤

This was the fair wäre my uncle Malito from Galicia, Spain, met my aunt Carlotta from North Carolina. They got married and they both lived a wonderful life in the evergreen state. For me, Seattle will be always in my heart…

Hi there I have a Schwinn Corvette that has been converted to a cruiser, I need to find out what year it was manufactured ? Schwinn can not help me

I was 2 when our family went to the fair. Somewhere I've got the home movies. I was too little to go on the elevator to the top of the Space Needle, but I remember looking up at it while my olde brother volunteered to wait with me at the bottom. I still can see my feet sticking out of the stroller from my pov. I probably made this comment before.

Grew up in a neighborhood that was built on an old Gimbel’s estate in NJ. The builder kept the mansion for his family & built 25 homes around it in a horseshoe. I acre min. Only one hour & 20 to the city. Lots of woods & places to explore as a kid

Great 👍🏻

I miss the old Vernors. Had it growing up in Buffalo. The current Vernors with high fructose corn syrup and no mention of ginger is not the same at all. I am looking for a ginger ale that uses real sugar and ginger as the original Vernors did hoping to relive the good old days...have an order of Blenheim arriving this week. If any of you have any ideas or recommendations I would love to hear it!

WE NEED TO GO BACK

It's kind of funny. My father work for Kroger's and my aunt worked for a&p. They used to sit down and argue back and forth about which store was better. It was hilarious

My father worked for Kroger's for over 35 years. We were a Kroger household. Everything we bought was from Kroger's. Everything we ate was from Kroger's. Everything we drank was from Kroger's so Kroger was a big part of our life growing up and we still go there for the fine quality and items that they sell

could you make it any harder to discern what city this is?

Being a wife and mom was rather fulfilling.

Walt Disney had some things here. =D

Thank you for sharing! Such fond memories!

I know it's been said already but just to reiterate, the San Antonio Riverwalk was not a result of the 1968 World's Fair

I'm 76 years old and I remember all of those things. It was a MUCH better time for everyone. And when people left church they all tried to be better people. I miss those times.

Rather than being the decade that style forgot or forgotten style, the 70s were really one of the MOST STYLISH decades in our modern history. I guess it depends on what one considers to be "style". I loved it, and wish it would come back. Everything blended well and every piece in the home complemented the overall look. The colors worked great together, and the entire environment was one of warmth, creativity, comfort and cheerfulness. Seems folks enjoyed life much more back then. Look at today's home environments -- bleak, boring, industrial looking, like living in a warehouse or factory. Grays, ecrus, beiges, maybe a little black here or there, but overall, GRIM! Matching, I must say, the spirit of our times. I can't see it lasting much longer.

FABULOSO MEMORIES ❤

We NEED a Boomer Town So we Don't Have to put up this with the sh*t of today. What the hell happened????

i was born and raised in SA and was 18 at the time of the fair. I went dozens of times during that 6 months; my mom was getting tickets as low as $1 each! Little is left of the original fair buildings except the tower, US pavilion, and Institute of Texan Cultures, and a few historic buildings that had been incorporated into the fair. I recently found att the pictures I took there and digitized them, first time I'd seen them in years! Fun times for ol' San Antonio.

The store in Bishop, Ca closed in April 2021. As a kid I remember doing there with my Mom and grandmothers. The qwners cited several reasons, internal and external, for the closure.

YES!

Thanks for the history lesson

When the people were in better health physically.

There was a miniature golf course in the Better Living Center and if you putted a hole in one on the final hole, you won a free game. My friend, Mike, scored a hole in one. We walked him through his free game, and lo and behold, he won a second free game. We left him by himself to play and returned just in time to watch him ace the final hole yet again. This time, however, his brother grabbed him by the collar and made him leave. That's just one of dozens of fine memories from the 1964-5 World's Fair which took place in what was essentially our backyards. Bring it back!

Along with macramé came the first big tropical plant craze, but one of the biggest trends was the craft "Ceramics." I think every item that previously started out in some other material was duplicated in a mold for mass production ceramics, followed with a huge selection of glaze innovations. It almost felt like there was a Ceramic store on every block. On another thought, when did the Dick Van Dyke show set have a sunk in pit ? They had a conversation area, and a raised "step platform" along the back but no pit.
