Is That Legal?

Just on the photo above of Habitat, which was supposed to represent the mod-future of living. My dad stacked those blocks (he was an engineer on the project).

Habitat had its share of problems. I heard the units leaked like crazy in bad weather. They're still going today, in fact one of the the top priced real estate properties in the city.

My mom always wanted to live there.

My biggest memory didn't directly concern me - my brother managed to gash his head, and the doctor who put in stitches didn't speak English. Considering this was the first time I travelled outside of the U.S., it just emphasized the point that the world is much larger than I could imagine.

The monorail is about the only other memory - I have some memory of it passing over some greenery/trees/landscaping - and looking at the linked pictures, it may have even been near the German area, as that white canopy is also part of the impression it left.

I was 17, and drove from Harford CT to Montreal via Vermont to spend 4 days at EXPO 67. Via New York would have been faster, but I believe New York at the time would not allow 17-year olds to drive on the Thruway. It was my first of three visits to Montreal.

I was born in 1979 so no.

I remember it well, our family drove from Chicago to Montreal with another family. I remember the interesting pavilion and the "habitat" housing.

Its interesting that the thing I remember the best are the couple that we rented an apartment from. They were in there late 60s or early 70s, the spoke very little english. He played the violin wonderfully and was always playing for us in the evenings, I even remember his callouses (he must have played a lot).

Oh yeah, I had one of those tote bags and guide for a few years after that trip.

Yes I remember. I was 9 and it was my first time out of the United States (except Mexican border towns) or east of the Rockies. I discovered the adventure of food from all over the world -- France, Thailand, Burma -- and that's one of my passions to this day.

Which country had the pavillion that was the upside down pyramid? I remember the building but I can't remember which country it was.
