TV Towers of Soviet Union / Eastern Bloc

Hundreds of TV and radio towers were constructed throughout the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc

While TV towers are commonly simple utilitarian structures, many towers were constructed by the Soviets to not only project radio waves, but beauty and state power

Many of these towers were built with public observation decks and rotating restaurants

One of the more conspicuous example might be the Berlin Fernsehturm (TV Tower). The Fernsehturm was a direct response to the Stuttgart TV Tower built in West Germany a few years prior

When the Berlin Fernsehturm was completed in 1969, it instantly became the tallest building in Germany. The giant towered over a divided Berlin, not so subtly projecting a message of socialist strength

1964 New York World’s Fair

An event that occupied 600 acres of New York City during Summer 1964

The fairgrounds in Queens featured hundreds of pavilions showcasing midcentury American achievement. Fast cars, space rockets, and corporate technology

The 1964 Fair was the first time millions of people experienced video calling, IBM computers, and Ford Mustangs. It was also the first time millions of people saw the New York Mets — who began play at a new stadium on the fairgrounds

The 1964 World’s Fair is forever ingrained in the memories of New York boomers. Relics of the 1964 Fair are still visible from multiple highways in Queens — providing millions of passersby a trip down memory lane
