I hope Expo comes back to Vancouver in 2016. Why did it go out of business?

[Sonicwolf359]

Expo '86 didnt go out of business. Expo '86 was a 6 month scheduled worlds fair. There is one held every few years in different cities around the world. For Example : Expo '82 in Knoxville, USA - Expo '84 In New Orleans, Expo '85 in Japan, Expo 86 in Vancouver, Expo 88 in Brisbane, Austrailia etc. The next worlds fair is in Spain in 2008.

I remember this... I was actually there @ the opening ceremony in presence with Princess DIana and Prince Charles. I was one of the selected ones to perform by my elementary school teacher. I MISS THOSE DAYS! I LOVE Vancouver so much... I wish it was like before.. everyone seem to be more friendlier back then... there's too much violence these days here... I don't like it!!!

I love the totally 80's music. I wasn't alive for this, but my parents had a really cool poster so I put it in my room. :)

Hopefully the Olympics will be successful! :D

25 years ago this month, I travelled west with my parents to see Expo 86. It was such a beautiful experience, one which put Vancouver on the map!

@Shukria123 There was still drug abuse, crime, homelessness, and poverty in 1986. Just not as much.

Damn my grandpa got to go to Expo 86.That sucks I wish I was born in 1970 something so I can see it =(

Fuck to bad you cannot turn back time

[Shukria123]

This was back when Vancouver was a wealthy, clean city. Now it's a shithole of poverty, drug abuse, crime, homelessness.

I remember going to Expo 86. I was 11 and my parents bought season passes. I think we still have them as a keepsake. They took your picture so it was like a drivers license. My parents used to have me be out of school for the days that we went as there were smaller crowds there during school hours.

I have found memories of visiting Expo 86. I wish I had a time machine and go back to this event.
