Cotter. The New Orleans World Fair, held in 1984, was America's last such event, conceived as a way of revitalizing a dilapidated area of the city with new commerce and tourism. An Images of America release, this pictorial profile examines the Louisiana attraction and gets to the bottom of how, exactly, it managed to go bankrupt after a $350 million investment and yet also breathe new life into the city center for years to come. 128 pages, 222 B&W photos, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
