Greetings from Philadelphia

Philadelphia is not all about cheese steaks and the Liberty Bell, it's also about beautiful women and children - or so it would seem from this postcard.

Unchain My Hart

You're probably familiar with the card game, Old Maid. You don't ever want to be stuck with the Old Maid card at the and of the game.  It's the same with postcards. If you were to buy a lot of postcards on eBay, you might find several postcards of deer hiding in there with city views and nicer cards. Alternatively, you might find some cards of stalactites or other cave interiors. These are the seller's undesirable discards.

I had a lot of very boring deer postcards at one point, until I donated them to SCRAP. This one's not too bad though - and it works as an introduction to the photo of a deer I saw in someone's yard this spring.

Most of the people I know like to keep deer out of their yards, but these people wanted to make sure their deer wouldn't run off.


Merriam Webster's definition for hart: the male of the red deer especially when over five years old.
I'd say this one's at least five years old.

Revolving Beach House

This was touted as the house of the future, a house that could rotate to take advantage of the sun.  Although it has yet to become the rage, rotating houses are still being built. You can determine the speed, from one rotation every thirty minutes to one every 24 hours. I can't help but imagine a malfunction that sends the house into a high-speed spin and pins the occupants against the exterior walls, but I'm sure that never happens.
