1934 Chicago World's Fair in Technicolor

This is pretty hoopy. It's footage of the Chicago World's Fair in 1934.



The Fair has a personal connection for me. One of my grandmothers came to Chicago while the fair was ongoing and she was so impressed, she decided to leave the farm in southern Illinois where she grew up and relocate to the big city. So it's neat to see what she saw that inspired her to make the move.

Here's Part 2.
