Thanks for the share, donroc. I love sites like these. This is an old postcard of the road I live on. It's paved now, but we still get horse and cart traffic.

Oh, thanks for posting this! I've collected old postcards of my area for years, but now that they're more expensive ($4 or more), I've stopped. This site has postcards I haven't seen yet. :)

No kidding? Our local (Chicago) used bookstore charges a dollar.

^ For some reason postcards are a big thing here, with postcard shows where there's a fee to even walk in the doors, and old postcards--even those not in very good condition--are $4 or more. A person can find a few for $1 or $2, but those are the ones that are plentiful. And people are buying. I'm glad I started collecting before people were clamoring for them and I've already had two albums filled.
