These cards produce that intense sense of nostalgia and emptiness - or loss, perhaps, that is characteristic off the best of Boring Postcards

David Stafford in New Mexico often sends vintage car images,

...did he send the Pontaic?

p.s.

That "field" in North Georgia College (now the University of North Georgia)

is not a sports field after all...it is the "Georgia Circle" on the main campus,

connecting the various central buildings :-)

LOOK!

A guessing game for you.

Here are 4 Boring Postcards, linked by a theme 'LOOK!'.
I acquired them seperately and initially thought that each one of them was Boring. I still think that,  but taken together the 4 form a 'LOOK! Family and I hope to find other members of it some day.

Now 2 questions to y'all.

First question: in each postcard, what are they 'LOOKING' at?

No. 1. (for motor afficiandos, I can tell you that it's a Pontiac)

NO. 2 (is it a 78 rpm or a 33 rpm record?)

No 3. (yes, it's a book, bt which one and why are they looking at it?

NO 4. (about the only interesting thing about this is that the boy on the right is holding a small model of the Eiffel Tower)And then, the second question......

One of you sent me one of these 'LOOK!' postcards a few years ago. Do you remember who sent it (and why)?

Running tracks are usually sort of oval shape, and (now) 400 meters round -- the major exception is the ancient one in Athens which has 2 long straighst, and 2 short round bits. I ran there once, before being chased off. (There's a similiar one, I think, in Berlin)

Nice ones, Jean! Did the Worldwide Salmon Community vote for  Westport, or did westport Council decided on the title itself?

might be a track and field...for running events?

as baseball has a DIAMOND :-)

Thanks Katerina!

Yes that empty field is indeed Boring.

It's a strange shape, and I wonder if Is it's a baseball pitch?

Byee, Val

empty field...boring?

State of Georgia, not Country of Georgia :-)

Thanks Jean!

Yes the High School must make the list.

I have a similiar postcard above my desk of my Grammar (ie High) School in England. I hadn't thought of the Postcard as being Boring, but now you have alerted me to this, and shown me the one in Portsmouth, it most certainly is.
