Your Hometown Penny Postcard

[GODDESS OF VENGEANCE]

I thought you all might like to.. Checkout your old stomping grounds during the times of the penny postcard.

Click on the state and then on the county to see old penny postcards from that area.....pretty neat.

Good website.
One of the first things I started to collect when i got a computer other than pictures of mamie van doren was old postcard images.
For some reason I like Pennsylvania Turnpike postcards.
Ya know when the PA turnpike was new, it was such a novelty that people used to picnic on the median.

Pretty cool! :thumbsup: After checking out Union County, I took a ride over to Rahway and took a pix:camera: of present day Main Street for comparison (I may be off by 1 block).

Here's another landmark in Rahway... used to be known as the NJ Reformatory, then it was called Rahway State Prison, and today it is called East Jersey State Prison. "Scared Straight" was filmed here.
