NYS Pavilion Documentary to launch kickstarter

If you have ever driven past Flushing Meadows Park on the Grand Central Parkway you undoubtedly seen the NY State Pavilion from the highway. What you probably didn't know where it came from. It was originally built for the 1964-65 Worlds Fair and has a great back story

As you can see its fallen on hard times, but there is a documentary filmmaker looking to raise awareness and also hopefully come up with some ideas on how to save it and or repurpose it. Check out his kickstarter page below :
