Słupsk - (Stolp) -  a town near the coast of the Baltic Sea. Postcard send in 1969 year. "Tenement houses at the Red Army Square."  During World War II, the city experienced a terrible history: on March 8, 1945, the Red Army entered Słupsk. German troops fled, the population resisted, and yet the Red Army exterminated 80 percent of downtown. They just burned them. However, a few monuments have been preserved.

Kalisz, cafe and restaurant "U Barbary i Bogumiła" - postcard form 1977.
Kalisz is the second largest city in the Wielkopolska region, situated in the picturesque valley of the Prosna River. The oldest traces of human activity in the city and its surroundings date back to the Mesolithic. Intensive settlement in the period of Roman influence resulted from its location at a significant point in the "Amber Route" connecting the Roman Empire with the Baltic coast. The importance of this settlement center is evidenced by the fact that around the middle of the 2nd century CE The Alexandrian scholar Claudius Ptolemy in "Geography" mentioned the town of "Kalisia", identified by researchers as Kalisz. Due to this record, Kalisz prides itself on having the oldest written record among Polish cities.

(NOT A CHRISTMAS) BORING POSTCARD FROM JOHANNES GROSS, GEVELSBERG, GERMANY

Shulzentrum West, Gevelsberg

Except you can't see much of the school -- just the top stories and roofs of two buildings. Half of this Boring Postcard features trees. A quarter, some cows that, to me, are more interesting as the three right-facing ones seem to be almost identical, and I wonder if they were cut outs posed here to make the card more interesting.

(Alternative title: 'Gevelsbe'rg Cows'?)

Thanks Johannes, welcome to the Group, and please keep sending me Boring Postcards
