I am looking for a photo or any imformation about the canoe liverys that were at the fair. Fair goers in canoes.

They clearly took their time setting this shot up. And those aren't houses outside the fairgrounds - they're the homes in the Town of Tomorrow! This shot was probably taken around the UK pavilion on the opposite shore of the Lagoon of Nations. A different shot indeed! They clearly took their time setting this shot up.

I really don't know anything about what the book was used for or if it was a novelty item sold in the gift shops. Any info you may have would be a help.

Titled "The Yachtsmen's Magazine, Motor Boating". In it is a story, pictures, and maps relating to how boat owners can get to the fair. The story is titled "Your cruise to the New York World's Fair, by Edward F. Kenny, editor The Flushing meadow improvement. Is this of any interest to the library? I visited the fair as a child and have a few artifacts from that visit which prompted me to start collecting. I am a collector of 1939 WF stuff and recently came across an old magazine dated 1939.

I linked to them in my most recent "Old Postcard Wednesday" post, this one with a scene from the theme area of the Fair. Your information was invaluable to me in preparing this post. Ironically, although I a longtime Oregon resident, I was born in Reno and lived in Sparks (on Gault Way) for some years while attending UNR. Give a nod to the mountains for me!

It is close to the USSR exhibit, at (roughly) the eastern limit, which was called Lawrence St. (now called College Point Blvd.), but I am not sure of that, and I need also the nearest cross street. Thank You. Hello. I need the actual street location of the Flushing gate to the fair.
