I wish I had gone to the zoo today.


Brookfield Zoo, June 1961. My Dad stands with me near the entrance to ... the Dolphin Show! (As kids, we called it "the Porpoise Show.")

Brookfield debuted the world's first indoor dolphin exhibit in 1960. 

UPDATE: The chic announcing the Dolphin Show on the YouTube clip says, "The year is 1960 … it was a time of 'flower power'." What?! Historical license.
