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.
TWO BORING POSTCARDS OF HOLIDAY INNS, FROM PETER WILSON -- who writes "I cannot imagine that receiving these would make the recipient want to visit either of them". Anyway, THANKS, PETER!
1. Holiday Inn of Cleveland East, Ohio, USA
Peter says that this is in a 'pretty awful neighborhood', and wonders if the Holiday Inn still exists. I don't think it does. But when it did it offered "Swimming Pool -- Air-conditioned (air-conditioned what?) -- Restaurant -- Free TV -- Free Hoiday Reservations".
Sadly they couldn't afford a photographer, and this is a not very good drawing of the Inn.
(Aside on the Inn's "Free TV". There was once a pub in England that had a board outside offering "FREE SEX EVERY NIGHT" in big capitals. On closer inspection there were some important very small letters added to it, viz: "FREEwifiSEXually seperated toiletsEVERY NIGHTopen until23.45)
2. Holiday Inn of Duluth, Minn, USA
This one -- oh dear, another drawing -- offers "TV and Radio in every room [including the bathroom?] -- Beautiful Cocktail Lounge [as opposed to an Ugly Capital Lounge? Oh dear again, I've got the Holiday Inn Capital Letter Fever] -- Indoor Swimming Pool"
Giżycko (Lötzen) - a city in the Warmian-Masurian province, the seat of Giżycko county and the rural municipality of Giżycko (former in german Ostpreussen). The city is located between lakes Kisajno and Niegocin. Giżycko is called the capital of sailing in Poland. Postcard about 1970.
Pojezierze Kaszubskie - (Kaszëbsczi Ùbrzég) is a fairly elongated region. The eastern border is the Baltic Sea coast, and it is located in the administrative area of Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia. Postcard about 1970.
