This Group celebtrates Boring, ordinary, dull, commercial Postcards that feature aspects of our everyday life – such as streets, roads, houses -- and are, in a strange way, interesting because they are so uninteresting. Join in and share your Postcards of our Boring world.

Beacon Hill, Boston: Yes, the sliver of automobile in the foreground is a VW Beetle, mid-60s as is the Cadillac which is a 1963-64 model.
On another note, my knowledge of botany is peony compared to others, my great-grandmother usedta grow Hydrangeas or Geraniums in a long brick planter in front of our house in Houston, TX. They like humidity, so they thrived.
THREE MORE FROM THE SUNFLOWER OF THESSALONIKI
.....thankyou, Katerina and may the sun shine on you!
1. Sav-A-Dollar Motel, Branson Mass
“Hi Class Family Units – A/C & electric heat – Carpeted Rooms – Cable TV – Seasonal rates – Located behind Roy Clark Theatre – Walking Distance to 10 Country Music Shows and Whiet Water.”
And Lots and Lots of Capitals. (Is 'Sav' short for 'Save'?, & who is Roy Clarke?)
2. Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Missouri
“Covering an entire City block in Kansas City. The Main Arena seats 14,000; the Music Hall seats 2,700. Little theatre seats 700. In addition there is an immense exposition hall. The Beautiful Barney Allis Plaza is in the foreground.”
Note that the littlest theatres (in the cloakrooms) each seat 1 person. (How come there are two Kansas Cities, this one in Missouri, and the other one in....yes, you guessed right – Kansas!
Truly beautiful, Barney!
3. Waupaca Chain O'Lakes, Wisconsin
I can't read all the text on the back of this Boring Postcard, 'cos there's a sticker on it, but this is “...the largest group of connecting lakes in America ...(where) you will find good familty type fishing ...including walleyed pike and trout...”
The famous Irish angler Paddy O'Lakes fished here at the end of the 19th century.
Hahaaahaaa... the gardening section will meet at once to discuss this rate and highly praised black and white specimen.
TWO MORE -- without flowers, Richard -- FROM KATERINA
.... to whom I say a flowery 'Thankyou'.
1. Madonna dell'Acero, Bologna, Italy
This Boring Postcard was sent to Katerina by a friend in August 2020 who had spent 8 days in July on the beach and 17 days in August in the mountains. This sanctuary is 1200 meters above sea level
2. Beacon Hill St Scene, Boston, Mass
“Beacon Hill, one of the country's oldest residential neughborhoods, is a carefully preserved historic district where almost everything (even the sidewalks – trans 'pavements) seemto be made of brick. Ere wealthy Bostonians have their townhouses within easy walk of downtown financial districts, and young artists and students share apartments handy to Boston's night life and universities.”
Extra marks are available if you can identify the cars. Bradford: is the one front right a VW Beetle?
15.10.20 Dare Mister Val M. H., Ms. Katerina N., Sir Bradford, et al,.... I enjoy these "word" games ( & "image" games) that y'all sophisticated artists play. My horticultural knowledge is limited. ( I feel like just another stray dandelion in a highly structured & cultivated garden.) When Sir Bradford sez: "to say nothing of Hydrangeas"---does that mean that Hydrangeas have nothing to do with the situation or does the Hydrangea relate in some way??? SinCelery, Richard Canardtion
. . . to say nothing about Hydrangeas.
This is cool, Katerina.
