Bomb Shelter Under Flushing Meadow Park?

The 1964 World’s Fair at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens had no shortage of strange and memorable exhibits, which included Sinclair Oil Corporations’ Dinoland, a proposed jet-pack, and even a bizarre Protestant film that posed humanity as a circus and Jesus Christ as a clown. It’s strange then that more attention has not been given to Jay Swayze’s equally odd underground luxury home. This especially due to the fact that it may still be hidden somewhere beneath Flushing Meadow Park, which is why historian Lori Walters from the University of Central Florida has just applied for permits from the Parks Department to locate the structure using ground-penetrating radar.
