World's Fair 2005 - West Springfield, MA

do they still have worlds fairs anymore? are they just not in the US? are they elsewhere in the world? i want to go to one. i want to dress up with my parasol and stroll around the grounds with my extra long peasant skirt and corset. ok, not really, but what happened? they used to build structures for the worlds fair that they were hosting. i remember driving by one specific monument in san francisco and being told that it was built for the sixty-whatever world's fair. world's fair locations are trivial pursuit questions for god's sake, that has to mean something. i guess the big E will have to do. after all, they built the big yellow bumpy slide for it.
