You already know how much I love the
panorama. You also know how much I love the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. So why not bring them together
? This super cool 1909 panorama(o-rama), snapped by A.J. Park, may be as close as any of us will get to being there.
It’s enough to make Lukoff and I cry.
It’s time we started planning a second A.Y.P.E. and building even more impressive buildings, all by
Pb Elemental. Ok, maybe not, but I do kinda like their stuff. Have mercy on
me.
