And I'll be visiting with you this summer, so be prepared.<br /><br />Anyway, that was the BEST story ever, what with all the antiques. <br />Fortunately for us, the 1966 (?) World's Fair was very near my childhood home, so we went ALL THE TIME.<br /><br />We could only DREAM of Expo 67.<br /><br />And we did.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-57529071685572008102007-01-30T09:00:00.000-06:002007-01-30T09:00:00.000-06:00We had a World's Fair in Spokane, WA in '74.

Best summer of my life, I think.<br /><br />I have lots of running out of gas stories from my early 20's as a single parent. Once was on Thanksgiving day, trying to get to the family for dinner. A nice cop that graduate from the same HS took the youngest rugrat (age 2 at the time) and me to the police garage to get a gas can, to the gas station for a gallon of gas, and back to my car to get me on the road. The only time in my life that there's ever been 'a cop there when you need one.'Spring, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08360023543278024154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-36151266341101891682007-01-27T16:19:00.000-06:002007-01-27T16:19:00.000-06:00I was at the NY World's Fair in 64(?).

But my family not only went to the New York World's Fair BOTH years but we're among the dozen or so families outside Texas to go to Hemisfair 68 in San Antonio. I remember the Alamo but not a single thing about Hemisfair except some woman in front of us in some line: The mom loudly complained, out of nowhere, "Quit combing your dang hair!"<br /><br />3. I've too have thought of how amusing it is to turning off Broadway onto Hollywood (Avenue). Your mention of it made me laugh.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981233568335087916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-65818608149588994992007-01-27T09:16:00.000-06:002007-01-27T09:16:00.000-06:00We went to Expo '67.

All I remember is standing in long lines and coming home with Mexican hats (from Canada).<br /><br />I have one of those coasting into the gas station stories but it wasn't my father, it was my husband at the Grand Canyon on New Year's Eve in the snow. We never did find a gas station, but we found our hotel and called AAA. We ate dinner looking out the window at the AAA guy putting gas in our car (in a snowstorm) and that was a better sight than the canyon itself.<br /><br />I'm still married to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
