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...

Okay. Great post. I was fortunate to attend the 1964-65 world's fair.

The coordinates given in post 133 are from the book of record of the contents of the time capsule, and will supposedly place one within feet of it provided GPS is working properly, the poles haven’t shifted, etc.:

40° 44’ 34” .089 N
73° 50’ 43” .842 W

Try checking out that location closely in Google Earth or Google Maps. The place doesn’t exactly look well-manicured or tended.
