March 2015 NA RR - Lafayatte Holiday Inn

The lovely Holiday Inn of Lafayette, LA.   This postcard is interesting to me because of the aerial view at the top.  I'm not sure why that should appeal to the road-weary traveller.   Thanks, Jason!

Swap - Long Island, the Big Duck

Larger than life.  The Big Duck was built in 1930-1931 and was originally used as a retail outlet selling Long Island Duckling.  Every December the Big Duck gets decorated for the holidays.

Barbara tells me the Big Duck has been moved around over the years but it still serves as a little shop to buy duck related items.

Great card! Thank you Barbara! 

March 2015 NA RR - Ocean Court Motel

Love it!  A modern day motel postcard from Craig!  I wish more motels printed postcards these days. 

"The Best of Both Worlds", the famous English Inn Keepers hospitality, the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and "The World's Most Famous Beach" is a perfect combination for a perfect holiday. Enjoy our large pool, sundecks, spacious lawn and picnic areas with satellite music. Most all of our accommodations are fully equipped efficiencies with cable TV and HBO. Fine restaurants and shopping are nearby. 

If you enjoy motel postcards as much as I do you might enjoy this article about them by DesignSponge.
