Do you recall the Penny Postcards??

What did your town look like, according to Penny Postcards?
Check out your old stomping grounds during the times of the penny postcard.
Click on the state and then on the county to see old penny postcards from that area.....pretty neat.
Click on the post card to enlarge them.
I was amazed at what I could still reconize in our area, and at the things that have changed so drastically!

I was old enough to recall when it was still active and could see the bottom of it - at least 200' down.

Wow - beautiful, Al!

Thanks Celeste. This is ID'd as part of LI on this postcard, but it was actually in Astoria.
