Subject: Postcards/Pictures Wanted

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 02/06/07 at 10:00 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.

Love that link! The main building of the place my husband grew up is on one of the Ohio postcards.
