When my wife was sleeping, I drew Mark Hamill on her forehead.

Revolving restaurantIn 1962, the Seattle World's Fair on a 74-acre site, Seattle, Washington, was opened by remote control by President John F. Kennedy from Palm Beach, Florida. The Space Needle - a 600-ft steel and glass tower - was erected as its dominant central structure. When built in 1962, it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. The first revolving restaurant in the mainland U.S., the "Eye of the Needle," was located at the 500-ft level. A 14-foot ring next to the windows carrying 260 seats rotates 360 degrees in one hour on a track and wheel system driven by a 1 horsepower motor. The restaurant is now named SkyCity.«[Image from a postcard.] |
