Can't Get Enough of El Paso

Here are some more views from yesterday's El Paso, Texas postcard folder, starting with the back of the folder.

When I was looking at colleges, nobody suggested that I could enroll at the College of Mines, but by then it was already called Texas Western College. Now it's called the University of Texas El Paso.

This building is still standing and looks better in photos than it does in this postcard folder.

 

El Paso, Texas

Nellie M.H. King Taylor sent this wonderful postcard folder to Mrs. John Decker in Meeker, Ohio in 1949. I can't fit all the great views on one post, so I'll put up some more tomorrow. El Paso looks like a relatively quiet place in these pictures; at the time it had a population of just under 130,000.  It has since grown to almost 650,000.

The Beautiful Carolinas

Here are some scenes from a 1942 postcard folder of North and South Carolina. I wonder if ladies in the Carolinas really wear high heels with their bathing suits.
