One thing that I loved about CommuniCore was the fact that it was so open and full of light. Compare this to Innoventions now and it leaves the complete opposite impression. Above you can see the Energy Exchange sponsored by Exxon that served as the post-show for the Universe of Energy. Something that stands out is the fact that all of the exhibits are not blocked off from one another by walls, but is has more of a market type atmosphere with its openness. I remember as a kid eating at the Stargate Restaurant and sitting at the table just chomping at the bit to get at all the exhibits that lie below me. I think that while I still enjoy Innoventions, perhaps an opening up of the area will help to invite in more guests and keep them involved with the pavilion.Monday, December 22, 2008

I completely agree. I loved the bright, open-air feeling of "old school" Communicore. Today's Innoventions is good, but a far cry from what the original used to be. Great post and photo! Thanks!
You're welcome, Lou. I really miss CommuniCore. I also still enjoy Innoventions, but there's something about CommuniCore that really put it over the edge as far as my geekiness went.
