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.

Post Offices - Part 6
Let's turn now to Expo 67, or more accurately, the 1972 reincarnation of it as "Man and His World". I couldn't find a post office shot from 1967, so here's one from August 1972. This is the Canada Post pavilion, which, for those keeping score, was the Korea pavilion in 1967. By 1977 it had become the Colombia pavilion. And, amazingly, the structure still stands in the public park now located on the former Expo grounds.
I doubt that you can buy stamps there though.
