Welcome back to the Postcard Inspirations newsletter! Hi Friends! Since it’s the start of the weekend, I wanted to send a quick note to show you what we covered this week. We took a look back at a few places captured on postcards, from Lakeland’s Municipal Swimming Pool in Florida, to the giant roadside stop at Trees of Mystery in Klamath, California, with Paul Bunyan and Babe, to a
postcard view of EPCOT Center’s early Future World in the 1982 style. We also dug into a few more scenes from Florida, including Tampa’s Municipal Trailer Park, Tropical Hobbyland in Miami, and a Jacksonville Beach postcard that lets you compare the old boardwalk scene with what the area looks like now. If you missed any of these, you can scroll below for the newest posts to catch up. And don’t forget about the Weekly Postcard Giveaway. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do that here. Thanks
for subscribing, and I’m glad you’re here. Exploring One Postcard at a Time! Will
