   This is really a very good site. Absolutely slays me.

   Hey! These guys run a deli shop right by house on H street, NE, here in DC. So funny to see them on this blog. Hilar. I also love the ladder picture of the kid escaping.

   It’s a small, small world.

   It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears.
   It’s a world of hope, it’s a world of fears.
   There’s so much to be shared
   That’s it time we’re aware
   It’s a small world after all.

   Every-body now!

   Cindy, one of my greatest memories is of riding the original “It’s a Small World” ride at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.

   You are, indeed, one lucky girl, Miss Sheila.

   When I was a teenager, I asked my mother about her visits to the 1939 New York World’s Fair and, specifically, about the General Motors Futurama.

   “What was it like?”

   “Oh,” she replied, as she gave a dismissive toss of her head, “we rode in circles on a little track and saw the future.”

   Cindy, it was even better. I rode the Spee-lunker Cave ride at the original Six Flags Over Texas.

   I fell down in Casa Magnetica and had to crawl out on my hands and knees.

10. Sheila Ryan on January 27th, 2010 at 4:11 pm

    I want to live in Casa Magnetica.

11. Sheila Ryan on January 27th, 2010 at 4:13 pm

    Want to design my own Casa Magnetica and have it featured in Dwell.

    If you do, let me know and I’ll fall down in it for you.

    Y’all are calling to mind My Weekly Reader from elementary school days, where I first saw images of the St. Louis Arch, futuristic cars and the New York World’s Fair (the globe that still stands, in Queens I think?, specifically) and renderings of DisneyWorld in Orlando. Sadly, I still have not been to Orlando (other than a plane layover on my way home from a stint, opening a store in Naples, FL, circa early 90′s, for Saks).

    My Weekly Reader. Ricky Cameron, I love you all up.

    “It’s a small world” needs to be done as a punk rock song.

    Not having been to Orlando is an immeasurably Good thing.

    I was at the ’64 worlds fair! maybe I saw you there!

    I am currently in a band called “Tom Warnick and the Worlds Fair”

    that is all.

    Your all is fab, Ross.

    I was the sullen little girl trying to look cool at the Fair by shoving my hair down in my face. I pretended I didn’t have a crush on my long-haired cousin when I rode the Goodyear ferris wheel with him. When I made to go into the pavilion of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints because I wanted to look at some weird murals, my father took my hand and said, “Honey, we don’t want to go in there.”

    Dang it, but I think I remember a punk “It’s a Small World”. Maybe it was just in my head.
