And the tacky ones from the 50's and 60's are so funny to see - quite collectible.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-68091380736251246752009-02-16T12:51:00.000-05:002009-02-16T12:51:00.000-05:00Oops, sorry about the delete!

If there are no postcards of Burlington and assuming the occasional tourist gets lost on their way to and/or from somewhere else and wants a postcard, why not go into the postcard business. How difficult could that be? Take a few photos, print off a few thousand copies of each with some pithy sayings (like, Burlington: "You got off on the wrong exit")and bob's your uncle. The Skyway bridge is pretty cool, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-4142683781860042462009-02-13T15:53:00.000-05:002009-02-13T15:53:00.000-05:00Those would be really neat to see, Ed.
