"America As It Was: A Tour Of The USA In Vintage Postcards"

June 25, 2002 12:05 PM

"America As It Was: A Tour Of The USA In Vintage Postcards" is a vast, amazing collection, quaintly presented by my new heroine: an Atlanta real estate agent and church volunteer called Pat Sabin who dreams of one day visiting Chicago and whose(some would say surprising) love for all things webby is an example to us all. Please don't be put off by the homey graphics and folksy language - it really is a rich, rich resource! [My favourite postcard turns out to be from James Lilek's New York collection. Go figure. All I can say is God bless the meetings of unlikely minds!)]

I think I'm going to cry. Thanks, Miguel.

Interestingly, I found this site just a few days ago while searching for Houston skyline pictures. Great find (the site, not the skyline).

This view is still the same, 60 years later.
