Title	Show Street; Backstage U.S.A. at night
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00880
Description	Show Street was the "adult entertainment" section of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair)."With a thought that a sample of the best of everything belongs at a World's Fair, the northeast corner of the Fairgrounds is devoted to adult entertainment. This area is called Show Street U.S.A. Show Street offers food and drink, exciting show girls, the natural and the unusual. It's a great place to spend an evening… BACKSTAGE, U.S.A. -- A walkthrough review of girls, comedy and song. You see the show on two levels of stage. Below the top stage are the dressing rooms of the show girls so you see them in their natural habitat.” (Official press book : Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Century 21 Exposition, p. 60.)
