What did your town look like according to Penny Postcards?
Click on the state and then on the county name to see old penny picture postcards from that area...pretty neat.

That is a nice site. I have many that were posted for my area. Postcards are small and fun to collect.

Hey there! I have 4 Italian Greyhounds, and another 4 iggy fosters, and soon will have more- my husband and I run an iggy rescue in Oklahoma! Nice to see other sighthounds!
How can you just have 1?
