Readers helped answer a question staff writer Nate Sanford wrestled with: Is Spokane's Pavilion actually cooler than the Seattle Space Needle? ("World's Not Fair," 3/30/2023):
MICHAEL SALSBURY: That's like comparing apples and salmon.
BRADLEY BAYSINGER: No. The Space Needle can't serve as an amphitheater.
PHILIP PORTWOOD: Both are lasting icons from World Fairs. The IMAX movie was awesome and educational.
BLAISE BARSHAW: Are shrooms legal in Washington now?
KEN KUSZMAUL: No. The Space Needle is much better than a glorified sun shader.
ALEX JAY CASTRO: Yes, because it's free.
SCOTT RYAN: Nope not at all. The Pavilion doesn't have a cool restaurant to eat at the very top.
ASHLEY LILYSON: I can't decide which one is cooler.
BIRDIE BYRD: No. One is an engineering marvel, the other looks like a pole was erected with a net thrown over it. ♦
