from the big box o' postcards

[fflo]

Here, in partial celebration of my new default icon (postcard shot of parachute ride at Coney Island, circa 1907), are some goodies from the box of (mostly) postcards I scored at the big yard sale day in Ypsi a little while ago. First, a lovely cafeteria shot:



For more, look here:


Whacky-Color Vegas



That Queer Connie Francis Song


and my favorite of the whole box:


Whacky Munich Zeppelin


There were also a few pictures in there. Highlights:


4th of July guy (detail from group shot)


driveway guy, Sep '63

Very cool, L. That zeppelin card is neat, but I find myself liking the Vegas one the best. Don't know why--all the wacky colors and fifties-looking people perhaps.

Reminds me, too, of a super 8 reel my dad had taken of the old Vegas strip with the neon cowboy. I always thought that was cool. Would have been in the same timeframe.

Okay, it's yours---claim the Vegas card any time, in person, Tremmel Ave., Z2, MI, etc.

Welcome home, btw. Bet you'll be going to bed early tonight.

(that's supposed to be "A2," not "Z2")

I was wondering if you'd moved ...

Thanks for the card. Yay!

You don't live in Zan Zibar?

No, but you make me wish I did! (That would be a cool address.) (Looks like the Dr. Seuss way of spelling a place name.)
