  • Hmmm.... I get annoyed whenever I see historic 4X3 film footage re-cropped into the 16X9 format. We lose the top and bottom of the image!

    That opening logo gives me a headache, too...

  • That would have been awesome to attend.

  • Can you show on a city map where the fair was located? Thanks.
