Since school is out, it is time for a vacation. For the next four weeks with Coloradolady, we will be enjoying vintage sights of Hollywood. CA.
Back in the 30s and 40s these were called "Postcard Postcards". They were inside a folder, that I no longer have. I found these stuck at the back of drawer. My, how times have changed!

I've never been there. It would be so much fun to see all of those sites.

Those shots are most fascinating! I wonder if they are still accurate.
I love this. Anything vintage is always fun to see.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. I always enjoy hearing others views on Agriculture. I would be happy to participate in the Pink Saturday post.
These are beautiful! Love them!
Oh what a beautiful era though! I have never been to California- muchless Hollywood and probably will never go, there are too many other places on my "wish list".
So I love to look at pictures and beautiful postcards like these and imagine that it is still this romantic place with fine dressed men and women doing fancy things at fancy places.
Thanks for sharing such delightful images this week!
Postcard Postcards? I have many of those from when my dad was in the Service - some from Georgia all attached inside the 'postcard' - with the word FREE written over where you'd stick the stamp. Must be servicemen got to mail them at no cost to their family members??
What old postcards...I remember buying those that came in a folder and you pulled it open to see them.
I love these cards..my gosh,look at the old cars pictured.These are wonderful. Happy VTT...
These are so nice. Ilove the artwork on them. I have a couple of them from my husband's grandfather's trunk. They were art in the mail.
I remember those postcards, LV.... My parents kept postcards ---so somewhere in my stash, I have a bunch of postcards similar to yours. Oh --I love to think about all of the memories.
Hugs,
Betsy
such beautiful postcards! happy VTT thanks for sharing.
Beautiful postcards!
I never heard those called "postcard postcards." My favorite is the picture with the lights and old cars.
Wonderful postcards! How very different things are now.

Uh, oh, I recognize some of those places. Cool postcards.
I was just reading your comment on a blog about farms, and mules, and plowing. Since I always SO enjoy your blog and memories, I'd like to feature YOU on Pink Saturday, and reprint your mule plowing memory comment.
Boy these really capture the times don't they. Love the old cars. I think I'll go check in the back of my dresser drawer-ha.
Happy VTT

What a great find in the back of your drawer! I only hope to find such treasures tucked away:)
What great postcards! Thanks for sharing!

These postcards were interesting to me. I was born and raised 100 miles north of Hollywood. I was trying to place where some of these pictures were. Most of Hollywood has changed, and not so romantic as pictured in these cards. Beautiful vintage old cards!
LV,
Great postcards!! I just love the vintage look of them!!
Debbie
Those cards are so cute! Would be great to see a comparison of then/now :)

I'm sure Postcardy will love to see these. What a great collection! Looking forward to the next few weeks of Hollywood.
Great postcards from the past.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment on my vintage napkins. I always enjoying seeing you!
Old postcards are wonderful. They open up conversation, send one's thoughts back to a treasured time, and make one wish for travels in the future.
I wish more people would send postcards today!
Hi LV! Those are super! I especially like the Hollywood Blvd. at Night one! I can just picture all the glamorous events going on back then.
Vintage post cards are wonderful to see in this day and age. I like your blog a lot.
