Post Card Saturday!



I know, I know, I missed last week. It just couldn't be helped. But here we are again - Post Card Saturday! And another good one. I think so, anyway, lol.


As you see, it looks to be another vacation spot. Here's the detail,or some of it. It's Euclid Beach Park, or so says the rest of the writing on the top of the card. According to Wikipedia, "Euclid Beach Park (1895 – September 28, 1969) was a popular amusement park located on the southern shore of Lake Erie in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio.". It also says it closed in 1969. But it still functions as a park, it seems, since there's stuff listed to take place there. Maybe just the amusement park part is gone.


Anyway this card is from there. And that address - yikes! A *hotel*. The address is a name and a *hotel*, city and state. Man those people had faith in thepost office... lol.


Ayou can see on the back, this was sent some time ago - 1941. WWII was likely the cause for the postmark about buying savings bonds. Here's a close up of that.


And here's the note:

Dear Sister Fannie,
Kathryn and I are here visiting Martha - having nice time. Probably leave here Sunday afternoon.

Looks like some brother was close enough to his sister to let her know what was going on with him. That's nice, don't you think?

So there you have it - back on track with Post Card Saturday!
