The scale model of NYC was there from 1939 -- and it's still there. As mentioned in that clip, quite a bit of the 1964 fair was just updating of 1939 exhibits.

I was a crewman on the CGC Eagle. Square rigged sailing ship. We were part of the first week festivities for the Nola World's Fair. The French built a gondola over the Mississippi but it was taken down a few years later. Supposedly shots were being fired at it from the Fischer housing project on the West Bank. All that's left is the Riverwalk shopping mall. Some local friends said they loved it tho.
