An extreme blow-up shows the OZ of WIZ, October 15, 1977.

I didn't realize it at the time but this detail from http://SWC-Biogon.smugmug.com/photos/191494492_f6Bgc-L-2.jpg shows the "OZ" prop, scene graffiti and the set crew moving a taxi prop. It wasn't until years later, when I picked up a DVD of the WIZ that I took a closer look. October 15, 1977.

Detail shows one of the WIZ graffiti characters from which real actors would emerge during the film.

View down the "Sky Streak" elevator cables to the interior of the second level doors. October 15, 1977.

Stairs leading up the main tower. They say these stairs are now so degraded by corrosion that it is safer (and cheaper) to climb up the side with ropes to replace the airplane warning beacon. (I can believe that)

Detail from the top level of the New York State Pavilion, October 15, 1977.

View from under the Unisphere, from July 2001.
