Anyone go the World's Fair in 1964? For some reason I'm thinking of the past lately 
having nostalgia moments I guess.

I was there with a bunch of friends. I remember visiting the Pieta and the Lowenbrau pavillion.

I was born in March of 1962 in northern New Jersey. We went to the World's Fair. I have three memories, maybe 4. I remember the world. I remember being pushed/wheeled around in a green car (instead of a stroller), I remember a conveyor belt that took me past the Pieta. I remember the Pieta.
I don't know how long the fair lasted, but I was only 2. I'm 45 now and those images are still with me.

I was there in 1965.
That spring my mother realized, to her horror, that she had never taken me to Wash DC, so we planned a vacation for that summer. Daddy could not get off work, so it was a big deal that mom and I went by ourselves on a vacation. We spent 2 days at the fair, a couple days around NYC, then to DC and on to Williamsburg and Monticello.
What I remember about the fair was walking, and the General Electric pavilion. Mom could not get me out of that pavilion.

Where was the fair that year? I am a 1962 birthday like Vera, and I am sure my parents didn't take me.
Spectacular!!! A huge warm waffle, powdered sugar, piled on fresh strawberries & whipped cream for 99 cents.
