30.07.20 Dare Mister Val M.H., .... oh, I get it. ....the" Interesting Postcards" will, of course, be disappointing & "boring" & the "Boring Postcards" will continue to be interesting & unique. How clever you are Val!!!--- attempting to serve all our wishes & please everyone....but I also have to agree with Ms. Mary---where do we send the "Interesting Postcards" as I know I'm gonna have a hard time keeping all this straight. SinCelery, Richard Canard

TWO FROM MIM: LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT

Thanks again, Mim!

1. Cincinatti View

"View of Downtown Cincinnatti and Ohio River fro atop Carew Tower". (Includes 3 1/2 reav view of heads, 3 of which are blonde-ish)

2. Holiday Inn Knoxville Tenn

"Dale Ave at 17th St. This beatiful new addition to the Knoxville area Holiday Inns offers the finest in comfort, convenience and service." And a swimming pool. And another pool for children. And what looks like a tennis court. If you don't want to stay at this Holiday Inn, there are 5 others in Knoxville.

(Why, I wonder, is one third of this card taken up by the silhouettes?)

Boredom is an artist's or poet's greatest resource

Goede morgen, M Eend. Do not give up: it is forbidden once you join this Group. A running theme from day 1 has been is this Postcard Boring, or not.  I found your High School Postcard classicly Boring, enlivened -- just a teeny, weeny bit -- by the car. I didn't take any notice of the architecture of the building, but Jenn did. In the immortal words of Sly -- he of the Family Stone -- different strokes for different folks... "And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo"

Val - Is this IUOMA website the only place where all the boring postcards are on show?

Hi Jennifer, I think this is the only place -- it is certainly the main place. But seek and thee shall find, as there are bound to be other Boring Postcards someplace else in IUOMA. Regards, Val

Yes, late 30s would be accurate judging from the horseless carriages.
