A fun looking cafeteria style restaurant in New York City.

I'm not too sure if any of them are still around though.

This interesting real photo postcard has a sort of ghostly attachment to it, at least to me, anyway.  Despite my color blindness, I can see some swaths of green on the shed to the left, and on the ground to the right.  What's funny is that as I hold the postcard in my hand, it is totally black and white with no color shadings at all.  But like I say, it could be just my quirky color blindness at play.

There is also a rather ghostly, hard to read message on the back of the card.  Probably due to the light colored ink used, but who knows?

I think the right and left edges are a bit less faded than the rest of the image.  The scan picked that up even though you can't really tell by looking at it - I have a few where that's the case also.

Donald says tell you he
will soon be 5 years old

As I haven't received
any news from you I
suppose it is my fault
as much as yours.  We are
having fine weather  We
have the raters painted
but haven't got the paper
on yet have you.  Ida

Thanks for the transcript, PB.  I was too lazy to get out my magnifying glass.
