@zibbyzubb Would not put it past them. Paris France, upto 1980 were still had plans to tear down the Eiffel Tower.ever put anything past on what Government would be will to do. That said. I would expect the monorail being torn down sooner then later. :(

@Brainpumper Only because everything was still in the "wonder" stage.

@zibbyzubb they have talked about that over the years but I do agree with you they should have preserved the seattle center I was at Harry Potter in November they are tearing down the fun forest I don't know if they are going to put up anything else I remember Memorial Stadium before it was a football field they used to have water ski shows and demos at Memorial Stadium

wow they had pagers back then? technology is moving too slow

Why did those idiots get the front seat in the monorail???
-
@justin19822 - They sure knew about cars and TVs, but not cell phones obviously. They did have a better idea of what things like farms, books, clear night skies and clean streets were. I'm on the fence about which era I personally would prefer...

CHECK out the CLOTHES!

@Brainpumper we were sure more optimistic

As long as you were not a minority or a woman....Life was grand.

Sad to see how many of the buildings from the World's Fair have been torn down thanks to the idiotic out with the old mentallity. The city officials should have preserved more of the Seattle Center's World's Fair history. Next to go is the Fun Forest and Memorial Stadium. Gee, why not just tear down the Space Needle too you morons! Instead of the original fair structures we're stuck with that EMP eye sore. It is just tragic.

The automatic dialer reminds me of the Bat Computer on the TV series Batman.
