Subject: Postcards/Pictures Wanted
Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 02/06/07 at 11:00 pm
Hey guys!
I have a request.....I am looking for old postcards that have anything to do with roadside attractions, Rt. 66, defunct places, old amusement parks, diners, old motel/hotels,.... anything of that nature. If any of you have any that you would be willing to part with...I would appreciate so much if you would send them my way. I am working on a project for my kitchen (which I am turning into a retro diner style)....and this would come in handy for what I am planning on doing. If you guys have any...you can either post here...or PM me.
Thanks a bunch!! :)

I may have some from the Mohawk Trail. I framed 6 or so for my kitchen, but I have a bunch of others from Massachusetts. Plymouth Rock, and a bunch of other similar ones. I'll look around for them.

Oh...my sister sent me this cool website. Of course I'm sure you've seen it before...
Just click on a state and the county you want to check out. I found some interesting ones from the area I grew up in.
