Thanks Mar, and welcome to the Group. You'd be surprised -- well, maybe not -- how many cities display their 'civic pride' with some truly awful postcards as can be seen from the second one. From which city do the postcards come?

Lubniewice (German: Königswalde) - a small town on the border between Poland and Germany, in the lake district, in an area with a lot of woodland; it is located in a narrow strip between two lakes Lubiąż and Krajnik. Numerous leisure and active recreation centres have sprung up in the town due to its excellent recreational and touristic qualities. Postcard sent in 1970.

06.07.22 Dare Mister Valentine Mark Herman, ...such a bizarre circumstantial  oddity.   But no relation---my background is English (New England  & even the  Salem Witch Trials --both sides if the issue---it of course, was all about "property") & on the other side: Nawf Karolinah tobacco farmers near Winston-Salem ( i.e. "Camel" cigarettes).
