Wow, what a great pic!
Brings you back to the dynamic "World of Tomorrow," GM's World's Fair exhibit.
Check out "Futurama" exhibits from the 1939 World's fair. Designer Norman Bel Geddes
shows us the "future."

(7) Bridges--man, where are all the cars?

I have just one question: where are the stop lights?
