  • I watched the video Expo: Magic of the White City and thought this video was an excellent abbreviation of what took place at the Worlds Fair. I'm going to send it to a friend that I was describing the Worlds Fair to.  I hope your teacher gave you an A+! Ignore the miscreants. It's clear they have nothing better to do.

  • thank you for your comment =] .....if you watched tht dvd you can probably tell i used a lot of pictures from tht dvd lol.

  • oh and i didn't get an A+...i got a 88% which is a B+ lol we didn't move on past the school cause we didn't have ACTUAL video in this.

  • First of all if you and your non spelling retarded sea MONKEY can do a better job then do it. This is a documentary and it is for information. I walked away with a great deal of history I ddin't know. So if you don't like the way the student spoke you and your friend above you can do one together and let's see how well you're turns out ...ignorant (scicosal and sawedge)...well done documentary

  • haha, thank you for having some sense in this. and yeah i realized i said jemima wrong.....i had a deadline to meet and i didn't go back and change it to a different recording. i just went with it.

  • Dont forget Tesla! He beat GE and he was the one that lit it! Now THAT was the most spectacular scene of the fair, it used the lightbulbs that tesla designed and is still used today: 2 piece stopper lamps.

see all

  • What got me to this video was my current reading of "The Devil in the White City". It's the true story of the fair and the serial killer operating there at the same time. Quite a page turner.

  • Even during that time was one of the biggest/most influential cities in the world. Go Chicago! :)

  • Very well done! (The remark moderately sized, though made me laugh--it's the 3rd largest city in the US, just behind LA ;)

  • I downloaded that video and I used it in my Social Science class. I got an A hahahaa

  • i slept through this

  • What about Burnham? Yeah, the fair used AC not DC.

    A good book to read, THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, Erik Larson.

  • You forgot to mention H.H. Homes and what he brought to the 1893 Worlds Fair. Or what he took, shall I say..

  • what about ida b well and the hatian buliding alot of stuff left out that were also important

  • @sonnybrown thank you for commenting =] we got a bit lazy at the end though...we couldn't find any pictures that fit what we were saying...i'm still pissed i messed up on pronouncing some words...even though it was 4 years ago

  • Very cool. Thanks for an awesome documentary
