Well, I moved to Nashville (Tennessee) about 21 months ago. Since living here, I have tried to keep up with local items of interest: current events, Nashville personalities, goings on in my new environs, what have you... As part of that, I ocassionally began to read Tennessee Guy. He posted this article. That got me thinking, and we all know what happens when I get to thinking.
I actually went to the '82 World's Fair. I remember seeing part of the Great Wall of China, a rock from the Moon, and the Sunsphere (the windows are gold plated!). All that made a big impression on this second-grader.
Carolina Band parked by the sunsphere one year for a foooooball game (1995-ish?). The area was quite run-down and shady. Who cares about Nawksville anyway?! Pearl can still suck it.
What search on YouTube prompted this posting? Seriously, WTFO!

ReplyDeleteI was there. I don't remember it being 4 and all, but my parents drove down from PA for it.
