The last time I was at this location was in 1965. I was 4 years old. The location is Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, which served as the site for the 1939-40 and 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. These images are the remains of the New York State Pavilion. The structures have been ignored and deteriorating for years, but recently the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation has embarked on a restoration project. The next summer memories post will be of another famous structure from the 1964-65 World’s Fair. Thanks for stopping by.
Long time! These are really great photos. I got to get out there one of these days.
These are great captures! They speak of a time gone by and I’m glad to hear there is a restoration project to save them!
It was so fun to be there! Thank you.
