    I read that book many years ago. I didn't realize that anyone ever built a real moving sidewalk until I saw this!

    There's a guy who walks into the middle of the frame at 1:39 who looks EXACTLY like me. At first he looks towards the camera by turning his head left, and then he turns it to the right and eventually faces the camera. What's weird is that a long time before watching this video, I told myself that when I die, and if heaven exists, I'd like to go to the 1904 St. Louis world's fair.. This comes close, but damn, this is freaky especially considering I lived in Paris during my childhood..... damn.

    These sidewalks consistently cut off people's toes and feet. So the officials determined people wanted to keep their body parts; so alas they shut the sidewalks down.
