TV City Motel

This great linen postcard extols the virtues of the T V City Motel on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Looks like a great place, and with free tickets to shows, who could ask for more? Well, you could ask for being across the street from the World's Largest Bowling Alley, and you'd get that too!

50,000 Employees

The largest group photo I've ever seen -- 50,000 employees of the Ford Motor Company. Can you beat that?

Big Fish

Here's the big fish hole at the "Wacky Golf" miniature golf course in Myrtle Beach, SC.

The back reads, "The entire family can enjoy a new and delightful game of carpet golf in an unusual setting." If you want to know more than you ever need to about the history of miniature golf, here's a great link: http://www.terrastories.com/bearings/miniature-golf

Seniors and Drugs

This one is unintentionally funny (the best kind!) It's the interior of the West Mall, in Phoenix, Arizona.

According to the back, the spacious enclosed Mall, 1,000 feet long, offers a constant comfortable temperature, winter and summer. Park style benches and lush landscaping afford the shoppers rest and relaxation during their visits to the center.

The funny part is the hoarde of senior citizens loitering around outside the Pharmacy. They're probably its biggest customers, and they want to stay close by!

The Winnie Vee

An awesome linen motel card. All the better because the back says that the Winnie Vee has "the state's finest tile baths."

Wonder Cave

You're HERE...THIS IS IT! The Texas Wonder Cave is a natural cavern formed by an earthquake a long time ago.

This roadside attraction still exists today, with several rides and of course a tour of the cave. Check out the rave (and not-so-rave) reviews:

L'Shana Tova -- Happy New Year

The Jewish New Year high holidays are here...Rosh Hashanah has just passed, and Yom Kippur begins at sundown next Friday night. May it be a year of happiness, growth, tolerance and peace.

The greeting cards above were published somewhere around 1900-1920 by the Williamsburg Art Company. Each has the Hebrew inscription "L'Shana Tova Tikatavu" which roughly translates into "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year." The other wording on the postcards is in the Yiddish language, however I have translations for only a few of the over 100 different cards in my collection. Any Yiddish speakers out there want to translate?
