I love this card from Michele! In the 1950s many cities offered separate mailboxes for local and out of town mail to speed processing. Marketing photos like this promoted their use.
Love this card from Victoria! Mission San Francisco Solano is the last established and most northerly of California's 21 missions. It was founded in 1823, then part of the Republic of Mexico. It fell into ruin in later years and was used as a winery and hay storage. It is now beautifully restored and open to the public.
I had quite the thing for Marlon Brando when I was younger. I watched A Streetcar Named Desire so many times. On the Waterfront was right up there too! Thank you Susan for this awesome card!
My first seriously mangled postcard. Thank you Canada Post, and/or USPS. At least the United Nations stamps and postmark were undamaged! Thank you, Lana! I'd love to go skating at Rockefeller Center some day!
This postcard is from Mariela Gemisheva's "My Wedding Dresses on the Roof" fashion performance. I guess I have no sense of fashion because I am not a fan of that dress.
Fiona spoiled me by sending me FOUR vintage beach cards from the UK. Her story continued over the back of all four as she recalled summer vacations at these places as a child. Love them! Thank you, Fiona!
Herbie needs some love! This is from the 2005 movie Herbie Fully Loaded. Proud to say despite being a big Herbie fan I have never seen it. I'm told it's better that way.
Battle Creek, Michigan is best known for cereal. This card from Taylor is fun because it showcases the downtown area from three different eras. Thanks, Taylor!
