I was born the year after in 1985. I remember asking my mom what that big, tall, red thing was standing over the river when she used to cross the bridge. She told me it was for the world fair. Ever since then Ive been curious. Wish I was there to see it, looks like a hell of a good time...

I still remember the sky lift that went over the mississippi. and the big ass ferris wheel.

What's interesting to me is how this World's Fair led to re-development of valuable waterfront space.

My mom took me to the N.O. World's Fair back in '84. I was in the fourth grade. I remember we went in November right before it closed.

Very good video. Thank you for the great memories.
Although the fair did lose a lot of money, it really did succeed in the goals of redeveloping that area and drawing events to the convention center. The area sure changed, didn't it?
