I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Hungry? Come on in and grab a seat.
If you were at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair on July 27, 1962 you might spot yourself in this shot of the Food Circus. This was the largest collection of food stands and restaurants at the Fair, and from the look of the picture, a pretty popular spot. It's interesting to see the shops are all small local operations - no McDonald's or Subways. This was in the days before the big chains took over, making it sort of special.
I love the lights!
