MOA Galleria - Jurassic Shopping Center

Snapshot most likely taken in 1967, when a traveling dinosaur display, sponsored by the Sinclair Oil Corporation, was making the rounds to shopping center and mall parking lots around the country. These life-size dino models actually came from the 1964 Worlds Fair originally. Here we see a T-Rex heading right for the Woolco entrance!

  3. He looks like he will clobber poor Woolco. Although poor Woolco didn't need the TRex to be trampled upon. LOL
