The square is not for standing it is an antenna

Visited Pittsburgh for 1st time last month and love the city... I just felt at home unlike anywhere else I've visited. Maybe it's all the saints connected to St Anthony's chapel? They're my family in Pittsburgh! Love the PCC streetcars... represents best times for life in Canada and US. We all have the PCC to remember so fondly! Greetings from Toronto Canada!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN THEY TOOK PRIDE IN BUILDING QUALITY APPLIANCES. THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE

The iconic architecture (or sculpture) that is associated with that Fair is The Trylon and Perisphere. A very large round ball or spherical shaped form and a tall narrow 3 sided pyramid. It was replicated into salt and pepper shakers, bookends, table top decor, and embossed into leather book jackets.

Hey,..really great footage! I happen to have collected some (antique) memorabilia, from that Worlds Fair. I collect salt and pepper shakers, many with architectural themes, from World Fairs and other significant monumental structures, like The Empire State Building. And I found a wonderful souvenir booklet, filled with photos, from that Fair.

Very cool footage. Thanks

It's wonderful to see these colorful scenes, with relaxed and happy fair-goers. But it's also distressing to know that just four months after the opening of the 1939 World's Fair in New York, World War II began. According to Wikipedia, some of the pavilions represented countries that had been invaded by the Axis powers, and were closed.

Also a bad flood in summer 86 IIRC

Pretty neat I gotta say, especially with it being in color

Its all synthetic now. Fake. Pretending to be something it aint.

Music is too ^&^%^%$ repetitive!

16mm Kodachrome movie film had just been introduced by Kodak. This was the same filmstock used to create Viewmaster reels, which also appeared that year. Suddenly color film was available to the masses, and the World's Fair was a great subject. We're fortunate that this footage has been preserved - acetate film stock is not a permanent medium.

Fantastic quality! I believe my father went there ... You can imagine the impression that would have made on a 10 year old boy at the time!

2:34 Edgewood Ave in Swissvale, old Union Switch & Signal plant on the right.

The planners really went for thee “modern” look!

God, that terrible animation I would watch as a kid, lol.

She was in the army during World War Two as a truck driver. She's at least 40 here.

3:30 Hmm. Not as stupid as he behaves.

Personally, I much prefer Joe Jitsu. That's why he's the only one I watch.

Most of the rides that used to be at Kennywood are at Idlewild Park in Ligonier, PA.

I'm disappointed that there are no images of Raywell's.

Gee, just look at how filthy the air is NOT!

I walked by this building while going to Pitt and didn't know anything about it until now.

She married Allen Ludden when she was 40. She was not "very young".

Nice video except for the background music. I especially liked the light blue trolley that was seen briefly. It was a nice change.

Nice video but I found the background music very annoying.

Looks like it take them awhile to figure out buses were the way to go.

Basically everything associated with the character, except for maybe the first two decades of the actual comic, is completely terrible.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the 77/54 nicknamed the flying fraction?

I believe these are the same as the Toronto TTC Rockets ... even the same colour !!

What is on the truck , the name ? Troth? Anyone know?

I was pulling for the GIANTS

The only flat piece of land in the whole state

I used to watch this in the later 1960s, that wrist radio was the tits.

Not widely seen these days due to the terrible stereotypes of Asians and Latins. Plus, how come Dick Tracy himself is barely in his own show?

I remember this...very cool.

So cute. Kids are so smart you don't realize it when you're raising them because you're busy busy busy , but they see and do everything they see you do.

SO MANY MEMORIES! WE SURE DO MISS THAT TRACK. ESPECIALLY THE MIDGET RACES@

A little difficult to tell, but it looks like the train was painted in Pennsylvania Railroad Tuscan Red with gold stripes? Would have been VERY appropriate for Pittsburgh! 😊

Learned to drive, weaving around those tracks! Remember the trolley driver had to get out and reach up and put the electrical arm back on the cable when it jumped off. The way I remember it it only happened occasionally, but the first time it happened to me I thought "what the heck happened"?

WYEP , 4 cable place, Oakland , 15213 ,,, Used to listen to them all the time

KQV Radio Towers in background behind store at 1:10 , no longer there, 4 tower array was torn down

i found an authentic photo of this blimp in the air certified in 1940 today

Very entertained.. 😊_ nuwun

THE GREATEST GENERATION, THANK GOD FOR THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN !!!!❤

Great find! and btw, I just drove through Millvale a few months ago, and not much has changed!

I love the soundtrack! Great! PWG
