Century 21 was the 1962 Fair’s theme and now that we’ve arrived, it’s time to look towards what the next fifty years will bring.

Going under the name Century 21, it showcased the best, brightest and most future minded technology available at the time – including pagers, exciting cars that looked like they could fly, various satellites and the NASA Mercury project to name a [...]]]> http://www.ultraswank.net/event/hop-on-the-monorail-to-century-21/feed/ 7 http://www.ultraswank.net/event/return-to-the-century-21/ http://www.ultraswank.net/event/return-to-the-century-21/#comments Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:24:00 +0000 Chris http://www.ultraswank.net/uncategorized/return-to-the-century-21/ Today we are returning to the World’s fair held in Seattle in 1962. Going under the title Century 21, this is one of my favorite expositions next to the one that was held in New York two years later.
