I just had a flood of memories of the 82 World’s Fair. Boy that was a long time ago.

I know someone who interned at the KCRH back in the 1970s, btw. They coached her to never use the word “baby” but instead to only refer to “tissue”. The people who own the KCRH are decent people, but of course very misguided.

A lot's changed that's for sure. The controller to Fountain of The World was underneath the Clinch Ave bridge. Me and another guy I worked with saw our boss looking at it one morning before opening hours. As soon as he looked off we turned it off. He looked at it for a minute then looked away and back on it came LOL. I was part of the maintenance crew.

I used to race against the fire trucks up at old city hall station to the Holiday Inn and the office building attached to it. I had to beat them up to the penthouse of the ofice building to the equipment before they axed it open. Every time the sirens started I headed in that direction just in case.

A lot of people around UT are misguided. You can usually read their post in KNS comments.
