Old Timey Postcard Views

Post by Lost Fresno » Tue Mar 26, 2019 7:51 am

There are tons of these out there that depict Fresno in the 30s and 40s. Just about every location in every city had a postcard printed with small white letter on the front to reference the location. It was a "thing" back in the day but seemed to lose popularity about the time that television became popular. Anyways, post 'em if you got 'em.

I never saw Palms on Palm Ave. when I was growing up but this old postcard makes it understandable where the street I drove down thousands of time, for its name.
