Flushing Corona Park

Categories LifeLeave a Comment on Flushing Corona Park

A recent early-Spring walk in Flushing Corona Park brought us up close and personal with ruins from the 1964 Worlds Fair. How I wish they still had Worlds Fairs. I would absolutely love to see one of the ‘house of the future’ exhibits.

I am completely enamored with the New York State Pavilion ruins. Mainly because in slivers it looks like giant vertebrae that just stepped out of a Nine Inch Nails video. Love.

The Unisphere from one of the paths radiating out from it.

More of the New York State Pavilion ruins. I’m guessing this held some sort of awesome tent covering.

The Unisphere from right up under, near the legs. Luckily, it was too cold for the fountain to be full the day we visited.
