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.

Location, location, location - Part 3
Here's a company that got a great location for their exhibit. This is the RCA Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Anyone entering the Fair through the main gate, which was the subway system entrance, came down a long ramp onto this open area called Gotham Plaza. The very first pavilion they would see was RCA, which had a big sign inviting them in to see themselves on color television. I would bet their attendance figures were quite high indeed.
