What was there?

Time capsule buried during 1939 New York World's Fair, not to be unearthed for 5,000 years.

Ahhh..., my grandmother told me about that 1939 New York World’s Fair. She said it was amazing. One of the things that she metioned frequently, when talking about it was the Interstate freeway system, shown in models, with the interchanges and roads going over and under each other, twisting and intertwining with one another, like we see now. She thought that was amazing.

I don’t know if she knew about that time capsule, though, as I never heard her mention it.

I looked up some links for some other people...
