Vintage Postcard Project

This blog pairs the postcard locations we found on our cross-country driving trip during August and September 2012: in each case, the vintage postcard from Aunt Esther’s collection comes first, followed by my matching photograph.

Blogs are generally organized with the most recent post first (in this case, September 27, 2012).

To navigate the postcards in trip order (from August 2 through September 27), use the following link, then use the navigation links at the bottom of each page to move forward or backward in time:
