Isn't it about time for the U.S. to host another World's Fair? I attended the 1982 Worlds Fair in Knoxville and it was fun. I was also watching a DVD of the 1964 World's Fair and it looked like fun. (All those people eating Belgian Waffles!!)

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I remember being at the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair..........it was amazing!

I was at the NY World's Fair in the 60's. We did have a thread about this several months ago.

I hate what the guy writes, but sadly it's true right now.....

The 1964-65 Worlds Fair lost a bundle and was not well organized. There is also the question of 'Where?' since Flushing Meadow Park is not really available.

I know, how about the 34th Street rail yards!

::runs in to bop Bustinloose on the head for being born in 1982::

I went to the 64 World's Fair and the one in Knoxville... I say, absolutely - let's have another one!

Isn’t Disneyworld and Epcot the permanent US World’s Fair?
