FROM MIM -- TOWER COURT, NM, USA

WHY CAN'T I SHOW THE ACTUAL POSTCARD, JUST THIS SILLY LITTLE SQUARE???

If you can see the Postcard, then here's the text....

"Duncan Hines Recommended". I have no idea who Duncan Hines is (so I wouldn't follow his recommendation).

Comment by Mim: "I always turn to cake mix for travel recommendations. Can't go wrong."

Comment by Val: "So Mr Hines has something to do with cakes."

About Tower Court:

"Your Home Away From Home... 16 Comfortable Units.... 14 Car Ports.... Tiled Baths.... Carpeted Wall to Wall.... Air-Cooled... Floor Furnaces... Radios... Convenient to Everything... etc, etc"

More comments by Val: Lots of Capital Letters....My 'Home From Home' doesn't have 16 Comfortable Units (or even 16 Uncomfortable Units')...Why are there fewer Car Ports than Comfortable Units?.... Convenient to 'Everything', or 'Anywhere'? It's not especially convenient for me at my Home that I am not Away From....etc, etc...

Thanks Mim!!
