I think The Big Apple took the unexpected sucess of the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair as an affront.
Then 3 years later -- put on their own Worlds Fair. (good - but I still thought Seattle was better)
Everybody knew about NYC - but the 62 World Fair put Seattle literally on the map.

Hate to tell you, but it took a lot longer to put on the New Yorks Worlds Fair than two years. Worlds Fairs were the thing back then. Montreal had it's Expo three years after the New York Worlds Fair. I think Knoxville was the last one we had
I think Disney World killed the Worlds Fairs. People just said, I can see better stuff at Theme Parks like Disney and Universal
The Space Needle is better than the Globe.
The Space Needle was built for the 62 Seattle Worlds Fair - one of the most iconic symbols for any city - Seattle's Eiffel Tower. The Pyramids.
Last I heard - The Globe was still around.
I went up the observation deck ofthe Empire State Building in 1965 - back when it was THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD!!!!!
Also went to the observation deck of the South Tower in the 80s - wasn't the same feeling.
