Penny Postcards
« on: May 02, 2009, 06:12:59 AM »
This came to me in an email from bigbad-d.
It's great fun to see what your town looked like 'back in the day'... and, yes penny postcards really did cost one cent way back then.  :disted:

What did your town look like according to Penny Postcards?
Check out your old stomping grounds during the times of the penny postcard. By the way, none of us were alive when postcards only cost 1?.

Click on the state and then on the county name to see old penny postcards from that area....pretty neat.

You can click on one of the postcards and it will enlarge.

... the card scene below is only a few miles from where we grew up, see if you can find yours and post it up.
