I worked there! I wish I could say I remebered someone named Tim but I don't. A picture might help. I too remember the neon mural on the wall. There was also a Filipino (sp) barbecue joint at the end (to the left) of the row in the above picture and in the evenings we used to trade our leftover fresh fruit to them for their leftover Filipino food. What an experience! The man in the Sunsphere would start playing the organ at 8:00PM or so and the sound would blare right into the front of the store so badly you almost needed earplugs. Once the "Energy Train" came by you knew quitting time was not far away. I wish I had more souvenirs of the fair but I do still have my red and white striped apron from the Fresh Fruit Works. Thanx for the memories!!! DMac Wow! I worked there! I wish I could say I remebered someone named Tim but I don’t. A picture might help. I too remember the neon mural on the wall.
