Postcard Friday-#1

What better way to start a new meme, "Postcard Friday", than with the city in which I live. These postcards depict only part of this city so if you want to know and see more, visit Visual St. Paul daily! For more bloggers who are interested in vintage postcards, click here.

"In the morning the city
Spreads its wings
Making a song
In stone that sings.

In the evening the city
Goes to bed
Hanging lights
About its head."

---Langston Hughes

    Thanks for sharing the postcards from your hometown and especially for the beautiful poem by Langston Hughes. For me he is one of the three best American poets.

    I usually post old postcards to show the difference, or the lack of it, with the present day photo.

    Do people still send postcards? I like to look through the old postcards at the Canton Trade Days. Its giant citywide flea market.

    Nice arrangement of postcards. I collect Minneapolis postcards. I usually ignore St. Paul but think I'll look for one of the X. (Nothing else starts with that letter).

    I like your dog photos too.
